Repetitive manual labour for little pay, poor sanitary conditions, long periods of solitary confinement, penalties for an unbuttoned coat – such was life in the Russian penal colony as remembered by Maria Alyokhina, member of the banned Russian punk band Pussy Riot, who was sent there for two years for taking part in an anti-government protest in Moscow. US WNBA basketball star Brittney Griner has also been sentenced to serve in the penal colony after losing her appeal against a nine-year drug sentence on October 25, 2022.
