Russia

Respect for human rights in Russia has been in decline for some time now, a trend that accelerated when President Vladimir Putin began his third term in office in 2012. New laws have created nearly impossible conditions for groups that work to advance democracy and human rights. These repressive laws also make it more difficult for human rights groups to receive international support, while an increasingly strained economic situation at home puts pressure on all.
