Vladimir Pereverzin was imprisoned for seven years in some of Russia's most notorious jails and penal colonies. He 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, the 'thieves code', and Russian prison tattoos.
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. He was incarcerated at several of the penal colonies that also held the Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny.
His book about his experiences, "The Prisoner: Behind Bars in Putin's Russia," was published in English in March 2024.

Mr. Pereverzin was no mere mid-manager employee of Yukos. He was instrumental in the acquisition of Yukos by the bank Menatep, which Khodorkovsky was Chairman of. He personally acted for Menatep on 8 December 1995 in the controversial purchase of Yukos. I'm not saying he is guilty as charged, however it is somewhat disingenuous for him to make out that he was a mere pawn.

a) He's being kept in solitary confinement for the maximum amount of years possible by Norwegian law. Solitary confinement has officially been recognized as a form of torture (his isn't for a variety of reasons). By Norwegian standards, his sentence is very harsh. b) Norway is a country that sets higher standards for itself than a russian penal colony. c) Norway has, on a worldwide scale, an extremely low recidivism rate (rate at which criminals end up back in prison after release). They also save tons of money and bureaucracy on not running a prison system that is designed to suck. Clearly their system is working.

@teekay9886 21 день назад

That's because the Norwegian jail system has a purpose of rehabilitating prisoners and either make them into functional members of society, or keep them locked in for a long period of time. It's what prison should be by a definition. Russian system however, is designed to keep the ruling class in tighter control, and the prisoner is not to be considered a person.... So, yeah.... It's damn near impossible to even consider humanity as an approach. I always find it tragicomical when the leaders of the countries, corrupted to the point of absolute debauchery, talk about democracy... Democracy can only be achieved by a truly moral human being. In a corrupted society, it's a paradox and a mockery by itself.

I bet he's right that he was basically a politically motivated scapegoat for Oligarchs, but it's impossible to overstate how crooked these companies are and without knowing exactly what he did there it's not hard to believe a mere manager could be involved in the crime and end up offered up as the mastermind to save the real top dog.

Is Russian prison today in 2024 better or worse then in 2004-2014 ?

@annalehman93941 13 дней назад

Much better because prisoners amounts is declined rapidly and Russian government send more money for the system to build better condition with EU standards. Not ideal but much much better then 90s when Khodorkovsky stole money from russian people and send them to London

@annalehman93941 13 дней назад

For example first time in recent history it is around 400k prisoners now in Russia (1,2 millions in 2000). US have more than 2,2 millions)

@paulfrank9047 4 дня назад

Sorry, I don't feel bad for him at all, considering he along with his boss Mikhail Khodorkovsky engaged in severe corruption and the theft and sale of Russia's state assets for pennies on the dollar, during country's the transition from communism to capitalism. During that time, the life expectancy of Russian men dropped to 57 and many families could barely afford to eat. The state currency became so worthless teachers would get paid in bottles of vodka instead of money. Khodorkovsky became the richest man in Russia and an oligarch by using mafia type tactics to pillage the state's economy for the benefit of himself and cronies like Pereverzin. The oligarchs are what allowed Yeltsin to stay in power, despite him being an unpopular corrupt alcoholic who destroyed Russia's economy; the oligarchs bankrolled his reelection. Then Yeltsin chose Putin as his successor on condition he would not go after Yeltsin or his family. Putin allowed all the Yeltsin era oligarchs to keep their stolen assets as long as they pledged fealty to him. Khodorkovsky refused since he thought as Russia's richest man, he could dictate terms to Putin. However, Putin charged him for corruption (which he was most certainly guilty of) along with Pereverzin and the rest of the cronies at Yukos. These men inadvertently got Putin to succeed to the presidency, thinking they could control him like they did with Yeltsin. How poetic their corrupt and evil scheme backfired on them and landed them in prison. Pereverzin is no persecuted dissident and martyr for human rights. Putting lipstick on a pig won't make it attractive.

@user-jq9nv8ys1c 3 дня назад

If you read his book "The Prisoner. Behind bars in Putin's Russia" you would write such a strange comment. Pereverzin has been sent to prizon under completely false charges. Khodorkovsky has never ever been charged for corruption and you did not evern mention formal charges in Khodorkovsky case.

@user-jq9nv8ys1c 3 дня назад

@Leith_Crowther 24 дня назад

It strikes me as highly unusual that a person in Russia would be convicted in court and sentenced to prison for a crime they didn’t actually commit. I always figured Russia just disappears or assassinates those people.

@KLondike5 24 дня назад

It's easier to keep jailors & administrators distracted by alleged crimes to operate the prisons than order them to be murderers outright. They only have so many sadistic people to do the worst of the worst. There are plenty of people to follow orders and keep shuffling prisoners around. Having few other job options prob keeps them in line not to mention the fear of getting caught in the system themselves.

@noboy345 24 дня назад

No they send you to jail first. Then they disappear you 😢😭

@Unknown_Genius 24 дня назад

Nah, you only disappear if you're important enough and an actual threat to the regime by functionally working against it. As long as you only say they're dumb or you're an easy scapegoat to keep the actual criminal out of jail (if he's more important than you and the majority of the public doesn't know the truth (isn't aware or has no info)) it's only jail time.

@johnjames7332 24 дня назад

A few political prisoners promptly escaped from the Russian stockade to the Moscow underground. Today, still wanted by the Russian government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can the hire the A Brigade.
