Again, citation needed. These accusations are way too serious to just put it like that.

I read interviews with protesters yesterday, sorry no link available.

But my favorite search engine immediately brings up these ones:

They are a couple of years old, but that things would have changed for the better in Russia does not sound likely, all reports are talking of the opposite.

There are also many reports about systematic rape in Russian prisons. Committed by inmates who are forced by the guards in exchange for less inhuman treatment.

Search for Nawalny's reports how is being treated if you still have not enough. Of course he gets carefully selected treatment because they know that the international press is reporting. But still it's a country where not only the leader is a brutal criminal.

Yes! Nobody can just claim such terrible acts from a state that openly murders political opponents and currently is carrying out an invasion of a peaceful country.
