Russia: Strategic developments in Moscow
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation has classified information on lawsuits to recognize citizens as dead and missing, as well as on crimes by security forces. The Judicial Department under the Supreme Court published statistics on the state of crime in Russia in 2025 on October 2, but it turned out that a whole range of data had disappeared from the list, Verstka noted. It turned out that statistics on cases of treason, disclosure of state secrets, and sabotage are classified. Information on a number of articles used in Russia for political persecution is classified: an entire chapter on "crimes against the foundations of state power and constitutional security" has disappeared, data on "organizing an extremist community" and "discrediting" the army. "Information on the number of lawsuits to recognize citizens as dead and missing is also hidden. In 2024, the department reported a record 17.5 thousand lawsuits, and at the end of 2025, Russian courts began to remove data on the consideration of such cases from their websites," the material said. Statistics on administrative cases for inciting hatred, calls for separatism, and violation of the activities of a "foreign agent" are hidden. And statistics on crimes committed by Russian military personnel and security forces are not published. Previously, the Judicial Department indicated how many crimes were committed by military personnel, judges, investigators, police officers, prosecutors, and employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service; now these lines are colored gray. 💥 Even the smallest, but regular donations from readers are important for ASTRA to continue working: Patreon, Crypto, BuyMeACoffee, from a Russian card
