Russia Opens First Dedicated Barracks for Political Prisoners in Kolyma

A dedicated barracks for individuals convicted on politically motivated charges has been established at Correctional Colony No. 3, a penal facility located in Magadan, Kolyma.

This specialized unit isolates 120 prisoners sentenced for distributing anti-war information, allegedly discrediting the military, or justifying “terrorism ”, according to The Moscow Times on May 18.

A dedicated barracks for 120 political prisoners has been established at Correctional Colony No. 3 in Magadan, isolating individuals convicted of anti-war statements from the general population. Detainees face sub-zero temperatures, minimal medical care, and strict disciplinary measures, including 7-year sentences for online comments.

The facility separates these individuals entirely from the general prison population, establishing a distinct category of detainees who are subjected to heightened security measures.

The majority of those held in the 120-person capacity barracks are first-time offenders rather than seasoned opposition figures or political activists. The inmates include public sector employees, retirees, doctors, business owners, advertisers, and media workers convicted for social media activity, private conversations, or emotional public statements.

Many of these individuals previously supported the political administration and lacked grievances against state policies prior to their prosecution.  .  .  .

Kolyma and Magadan are so far east of Moscow that someone going much farther east would end up in an arm of the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Okhotsk.

@DarthPutinKGB

OTD in 1944 Soviet deportation of Crimean Tatars began. On Stalin's orders, over 191,000 were forcibly sent to Uzbek SSR. 8000 died en route & 88,000 died with 3 years.

Imagine mass deportations happening in 21st century...

After four years of genocide against Ukrainian civilians, some nearby industrial targets get hit.  And this is how Russians react.

In Russian rhetoric, destruction of Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Vuhledar, Maryinka, Kurakhovo, and Krasnohorivka is explained as "acceptable consequences of hostilities".

Ukraine has focused on developing low-cost missiles to intercept Shahed drones and has already found a solution and begun testing it - Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.

Other statements:

▪️ The interception rate of Russian Shahed drones by interceptor drones has doubled over the past four months. The goal is to reach a stable interception rate of 95%.

▪️ Twenty-seven companies have already joined the private air defense project.

▪️ Ukraine’s strategic goal is to inflict at least 200 Russian losses for every square kilometer of advance.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Russian Troops' Fear Grows As Ukraine AI "Slaughterbot" Drones Headhunt Them

Jonathan Low  |  May 20, 2026


A new Ukrainian drone, nicknamed "the Slaughterbot," is AI-driven and features thermal imaging to capture a Russian soldier's heat signature as well as facial recognition to identify individual soldiers, especially officers. Its growing use has led to a sharp increase in drone kill ratios against Russian troops - as well as a concomitant rise in their justifiable fears of death.

The new drones are small, inexpensive and supremely accurate. Their use is intended to help assure that Ukraine eliminates more Russians per month than the Kremlin is able to recruit.  .  .  .
