Description
Moscow residents, including some well-known dissidents, take part in the "Returning of the Names" ceremony, an annual commemoration of Soviet-era repressions, more than 20 months into Moscow's Ukraine offensive that has been accompanied at home by a major crackdown on dissent. The event is traditionally held at the Solovetsky Stone memorial to victims, opposite the Lubyanka headquarters of the KGB, now occupied by its modern successor FSB. "We are rather here, I am rather here because these repressions keep increasing and increasing today," says Svetlana Gannushkina. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
