  • Inside Russia's Arctic Prison: Polar Wolf
    Aug 10 2025
    Polar Wolf, Russia's most notorious prison camp, is located deep in the Arctic, over 1,200 miles north of Moscow. Reserved for the country's most dangerous criminals and political dissidents like Alexei Navalny, it is infamous for extreme isolation, harsh climate, and brutal conditions. Prisoners face physical and psychological abuse, forced labor, and near-total cut-off from the outside world, making it a symbol of Russia's punitive prison system.
