Russia to open 25 penal colonies in annexed regions of Ukraine
Moscow Times.ru ^ | 25th January 2023

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin ordered the creation of penal colonies in regions of Ukraine annexed during the Russian invasion. The Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) will have to register all institutions within the next three months, the document says .

In the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, 12 penal colonies are being organized, and seven in the Luhansk People's Republic. Three colonies will appear in the annexed part of the Kherson region, two colonies and one colony-settlement will appear in the Zaporozhye region.

Also, three medical correctional institutions and three correctional centers will appear in the occupied Ukrainian territories .

New places of deprivation of liberty will be built within the framework of the already approved budget of the Federal Penitentiary Service "without the allocation of additional budgetary allocations." The Federal Penitentiary Service together with the Federal Property Management Agency will determine the property that will be assigned to the colonies until June 1, 2026.

In November , the media and human rights activists wrote that the Russian military, while retreating from the Kherson region of Ukraine, took out prisoners from ten colonies. We can talk about several thousand people, most of them are in the Krasnodar Territory.

Before that, Russian prisoners from colonies located in the border regions began to be transferred to institutions inside the country. Convicts from the Belgorod and Rostov regions ended up in prisons in the Tula, Lipetsk regions and other regions.

The Russian authorities refer to the annexed territories of Ukraine as new regions annexed as a result of "referendums" held at the end of September. The vote was condemned by 143 UN member states.

They’ll probably mix in Wagner groups for good measure. Ukraine had better be careful who they shell.

They were all was going to need Re-education camps for pesky “Nationalists” (if their plan worked and a puppet government was installed, they’d call them “Nazi Terrorists” and it would be fine).

Now they will just be full of “Ukranianas” that don’t want to be second class Russians.

You are persistent, and crazy.
A bad combination

Now you spout antifa nonsense — are you a member of antifa?

With severe enough brainwashing — there were people tossed into gulags under Stalin who were beaten and psychologically and physically tortured daily and ended up believing that Stalin would save them

It depends on the quality of reeducation. Look at the Chechens, 50% of the population killed, but the rest are the most staunchest patriots of Russia and hate America above all.

Russian prisons are just reserve cannon fodder pools. Kill them in prison or on the front, what’s the difference?

Since this story is from the Moscow Times, it must be propoganda.
