How prison in Putin's Russia actually works, according to a former penal colony inmate
Vladimir Pereverzin is a former businessman from Russia. He was imprisoned for seven years in some of Russia'’s most notorious jails and penal colonies on fabricated charges of embezzlement and fraud. Pereverzin tells Business Insider about life in Russian jails and prisons, including details about police interrogations, solitary confinement, and forced labor. He describes the conditions in prison camps and discusses his time behind bars at several of the penal colonies that also held the Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny. Pereverzin worked in Cyprus for Yukos, an oil company owned by the billionaire businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky. In 2005, Khodorkovsky was sentenced on charges of fraud, which were widely considered to be politically motivated. Russian prosecutors accused other Yukos executives alongside Khodorkovsky, Pereverzin among them. Pereverzin's book about his experiences, "The Prisoner: Behind Bars in Putin's Russia," was published in English in March 2024.
