He opens a folder and takes out a stack of large photographs: portraits of prisoners.One shows four journalists – Antonina Favorskaya, Konstantin Gabov, Sergey Karelin and Artyom Kriger – convicted and jailed on extremism charges. They’d been accused of links to the anti-corruption organisation of the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny.There’s a photo of Alexei Gorinov: a city councillor jailed for “knowingly spreading false information” about the Russian military after he spoke out against the war in Ukraine.”And here’s a wonderful pianist, Pavel Kushnir,” says Dmitry Miratov. “An outstanding performer of Rachmaninoff and Schubert.”The musician was arrested after posting anti-war…
