“I have to admit that the Russian prison system managed to surprise me,” Navaln’s message read on Instagram. The opposition also uploaded a photo showing him with short haircuts.
“I did not think it was possible to organize a real concentration camp 100 km from Moscow,” he added.
A. Navaln stated that he is detained in the second correctional colony of the city of Pokrov in the Vladimir region.
On Monday, Russian news agencies reported that A. Nalvan’s lawyer, Olga Michailova, had confirmed that he was in the colony and that she had been allowed to visit him there.
In his message, A. Navalnas wrote that “there are cameras everywhere, everyone is under surveillance and writes a report for the smallest infraction.”
“It just came to our attention then [George’o] Orwello [Džordžo Orvelo] “1984” and decided, “Wonderful! Let’s do it like this. Parenting through dehumanization,” he added.
Navaln said he had seen no violence in the colony so far, although he said he could “easily believe” previous reports of violence in “tense prisoners.”
Earlier this month, Konstantin Kotov, who had been imprisoned in the colony for almost two years for violating the rules of the protests, told AFP that he did not treat the prisoners “like people.”
In mid-January, Navaln was arrested at the Moscow airport shortly after arriving from Germany, where he was being treated with Novičiok, a nerve paralyzing substance developed in the Soviet Union after the poisoning.
An anti-corruption activist, best known for his research exposing the lavish lifestyle of the Russian elite, claims that an attempt was made to poison him on the orders of President Vladimir Putin.
The Kremlin has repeatedly denied the allegations, but has not launched an investigation into the attack.
