Memorial

Human rights activists including Nobel Peace Prize laureate Andrei Sakharov and human rights activist Svetlana Gannushkina founded the human rights organization Memorial in 1987 to combat ‘past crimes’. The Nobel Committee noted that Memorial has grown to become the largest human rights organization in Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union.

In addition to establishing a documentation center on victims of the Stalinist era, the Memorial collected and systematized information on political repression and human rights violations in Russia. Memorial is the most authoritative source of information on political prisoners in Russian detention facilities.

Memorial has made similar efforts to collect and make available information on war crimes committed by Russian forces and sympathizers during the Chechen wars. In 2009, the head of Memorial’s branch in Chechnya, Natalia Estemirova, was killed for doing this work. In December 2021, Russian authorities declared bankruptcy and forced its enrollment center to close permanently. However, the institution refused to close.

Center for Civil Liberties

The Center for Civil Liberties was founded in 2007 in Kyiv. It works to ensure that Ukraine develops as a state under the rule of law. The Nobel committee said it actively advocated for Ukraine to join the International Criminal Court.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Center for Civil Liberties has been involved in efforts to identify and document Russian war crimes against Ukrainian civilians.
