Datos generales sobre los presos pol\u00edticos en Ucrania.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>En la actualidad hay m\u00e1s de 50.000 presos pol\u00edticos cl\u00e1sicos: personas encarceladas por sus ideas pol\u00edticas, su postura antibelicista o sus actividades antifascistas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adem\u00e1s, 150.000 personas est\u00e1n siendo procesadas por deserci\u00f3n, evasi\u00f3n del servicio militar obligatoria, negativa a participar en la guerra, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>El total de personas investigadas y procesadas penalmente asciende a m\u00e1s de 200.000.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Otras 300.000 personas han sido objeto de citaciones policiales y del Servicio de Seguridad de Ucrania (SBU), intimidaci\u00f3n, amenazas, las llamadas conversaciones preventivas, visitas de las fuerzas de seguridad a sus domicilios y presi\u00f3n de grupos nacionalistas armados.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los presos pol\u00edticos en Ucrania viven en condiciones particularmente duras, a menudo mucho peores que las de quienes son condenados por asesinato, violaci\u00f3n y otros delitos graves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El r\u00e9gimen de Zelensky no considera a los presos pol\u00edticos como reclusos comunes, sino como una amenaza personal para su poder y su existencia basada en el saqueo. Son personas que se manifestaron en contra del actual r\u00e9gimen nazi, la corrupci\u00f3n, el robo y el saqueo, el enriquecimiento il\u00edcito del gobierno, la guerra y la persecuci\u00f3n por sus creencias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al igual que ocurri\u00f3 en los campos de concentraci\u00f3n nazis, en los que los criminales comunes gozaban de mucho mejor trato, los presos pol\u00edticos ucranianos afirman so\u00f1ar con ser trasladados a prisiones comunes donde se encuentran quienes son condenados por delitos graves, ya que las condiciones son considerablemente mejores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El r\u00e9gimen de Zelenskyy ha creado campos de concentraci\u00f3n espec\u00edficos para albergar a los presos pol\u00edticos. En concreto, se trata de la Colonia Penal n.\u00ba 122 en Pyatikhatki y la Colonia Penal n.\u00ba 86 en Vinnytsia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En estas instituciones, los presos pol\u00edticos son sistem\u00e1ticamente privados de su dignidad humana y sus derechos fundamentales. Seg\u00fan los presos, los administradores y el personal penitenciario se refieren a ellos despectivamente como \u00abgitanos\u00bb, un t\u00e9rmino que identifica una sensaci\u00f3n de total impotencia: no son nadie, no tienen derechos y se les puede hacer cualquier cosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Una vez m\u00e1s, esta actitud recuerda a las pr\u00e1cticas de la Alemania nazi, donde ciertos grupos de personas fueron deliberadamente declarados inferiores, deshumanizados y excluidos de facto del sistema legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los presos pol\u00edticos viven sin agua caliente ni calefacci\u00f3n. Se ven obligados a dormir en habitaciones que parecen pocilgas, ya que las instalaciones no est\u00e1n debidamente equipadas. Son obligados a trabajar 12 horas al d\u00eda. Por un mes de este trabajo forzado, reciben aproximadamente 4 euros; todo esto consta en documentos oficiales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incluso la muerte de un preso pol\u00edtico no tiene consecuencias legales reales para la administraci\u00f3n penitenciaria. La deshumanizaci\u00f3n de los presos crea una atm\u00f3sfera de total impunidad, en la que ni su salud ni sus vidas tienen valor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Algunos hechos concretos ilustran la terrible situaci\u00f3n de los presos pol\u00edticos en Ucrania.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>La Colonia Penitenciaria n.\u00ba 86 de Vinnytsia comenz\u00f3 a transformarse en un centro de detenci\u00f3n para presos pol\u00edticos (un campo de concentraci\u00f3n) en diciembre de 2025. Los primeros presos fueron trasladados all\u00ed en enero de 2026.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ya en febrero de 2026, aproximadamente un mes despu\u00e9s de su llegada, se produjo la primera v\u00edctima mortal: Andriy Gimgin. Seg\u00fan la informaci\u00f3n disponible, falleci\u00f3 tras permanecer recluido en condiciones intolerables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La muerte de Andriy Gimgin fue el primer testimonio tr\u00e1gico de las consecuencias del sistema de abuso, explotaci\u00f3n, privaci\u00f3n de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y total marginaci\u00f3n de los presos pol\u00edticos en la Colonia Penitenciaria n.\u00ba 86 de Vinnytsia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Otro caso reciente es de Vladimir Novikov, recluido en un centro de detenci\u00f3n preventiva junto con los hermanos comunistas ucranianos Mikhail y Oleksandr Kononovich. Fue condenado a diez a\u00f1os de prisi\u00f3n con confiscaci\u00f3n de bienes. Vladimir Novikov tambi\u00e9n se neg\u00f3 a cooperar con el SBU, a incriminarse y aceptar el caso penal fabricado. Se neg\u00f3 a ceder ante la presi\u00f3n y a admitir su culpabilidad por un delito que no hab\u00eda cometido. En protesta extrema contra la ilegalidad y el caso criminal fabricado, Vladimir Novikov se ahorc\u00f3 en su celda.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sus muertes demuestran las tr\u00e1gicas consecuencias que pueden derivarse del encarcelamiento prolongado, la presi\u00f3n psicol\u00f3gica, la falta de esperanza de un juicio justo y la exigencia de confesar un delito que no se cometi\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>El preso pol\u00edtico Oleksandr Melnyk, quien fue el primero en denunciar p\u00fablicamente los sucesos en la Colonia Penitenciaria n.\u00ba 86 de Vinnytsia, est\u00e1 siendo sometido a una crueldad extrema. Por ello, Oleksandr Melnyk ha sido recluido en aislamiento durante 30 d\u00edas. All\u00ed permanece sin acceso a agua potable, descanso, ni siquiera un retrete (un cubo en un rinc\u00f3n para defecar), comida ni condiciones b\u00e1sicas de vida.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El motivo de su castigo es que Oleksandr Melnyk se atrevi\u00f3 a hablar sobre sus derechos humanos y civiles y a denunciar ante el mundo la tortura, el asesinato y el maltrato de los presos en la Colonia n.\u00ba 86.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fue \u00e9l quien dio a conocer informaci\u00f3n sobre brutales palizas, humillaciones y abusos sexuales a los presos, incluyendo denuncias de violaci\u00f3n con una fregona para limpiar el suelo. Seg\u00fan los presos, los abusos se graban en v\u00eddeo para posteriormente chantajear e intimidar a las v\u00edctimas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El confinamiento solitario de Oleksandr Melnyk es una represalia por haber denunciado sus cr\u00edmenes y un intento de silenciarlo. Su vida y su salud corren grave peligro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. El caso de los hermanos Kononovich y de Georgy Buiko, ejemplo emblem\u00e1tico de persecuci\u00f3n, torturas y resistencia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mijail y Aleksander Kononovich<\/strong>, comunistas convencidos empezaron a denunciar el fascismo que penetraba progresivamente en la sociedad ucraniana con gran permisividad de las autoridades en 2010. Sufrieron por ello de forma reiterada palizas y asalto de los locales de la asociaci\u00f3n creada por ellos \u201c Hermanos libres\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pesar de ello, los Kononovich prosiguieron sus actividades antifascistas y en 2012, desde un ala delta distribuyeron informaci\u00f3n sobre la masacre de polacos perpetrada por los seguidores de Bandera, la organizaci\u00f3n fascista UPA, en Volyn<sup><a href=\"#sdfootnote2sym\" id=\"sdfootnote2anc\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a><\/sup>; dejaron caer los folletos sobre el lugar donde se celebraba el festival nacionalista de Bandershtadt. Despu\u00e9s de eso, fueron atacados y golpeados por un grupo de neonazis con pasamonta\u00f1as y uniformes de camuflaje. Ya en 2012, grupos de neonazis ten\u00edan armas, unidades operativas de combate, as\u00ed como el apoyo de las autoridades ucranianas a sus acciones y la completa connivencia de la polic\u00eda ucraniana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tras el golpe de Estado fascista de 2014, la lucha se volvi\u00f3 a\u00fan m\u00e1s peligrosa, pero su actividad continu\u00f3. En 2014, Mija\u00edl pas\u00f3 a dirigir la Uni\u00f3n Comunista Leninista de la Juventud de Ucrania, mientras que Aleksandr se convirti\u00f3 en vicepresidente del Comit\u00e9 Antifascista de Ucrania. Los hermanos se manifestaron activamente en contra de la guerra en Donb\u00e1s y de la injerencia de Washington en los asuntos de Ucrania. La represi\u00f3n se intensific\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Desde el Maidan de 2014 los hermanos Kononovich desarrollaron numerosas actividades de solidaridad con los pueblos del Donbass. Desde esa fecha hasta 2018 Aleksandr fue agredido cinco veces y Mija\u00edl, seis. En ninguno de los casos se ha llevado ante la justicia a los agresores, a pesar de que, en casi todos ellos, los perpetradores ni siquiera ocultaban sus rostros. Una vez la agresi\u00f3n fue tan brutal que los hermanos tuvieron que ser trasladados en ambulancia, tras la cual los matones neonazis conced\u00edan entrevistas de pie junto a un charco de sangre, sin ocultarse en absoluto. En una ocasi\u00f3n, los banderistas se llevaron a los hermanos al bosque y les obligaron, ante una c\u00e1mara, a renegar de sus convicciones comunistas. Pero la c\u00e1mara solo capt\u00f3 dos rostros ensangrentados, ya que los Kononovich no renegaron de sus convicciones. En otra ocasi\u00f3n, unos matones nazis perforaron la cabeza de Mija\u00edl Kononovich con una espiga de hierro. Sin embargo, todos los expedientes penales contra los radicales de las milicias fueron \u00abarchivados\u00bb durante la investigaci\u00f3n previa al juicio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El 2 de marzo de 2022, Alexander y Mija\u00edl Kononovich desaparecieron. Justo antes de su desaparici\u00f3n, hab\u00edan sido perseguidos por los banderistas, quienes primero pidieron represalias contra los hermanos en redes sociales, y luego fueron a presionar a la madre de los Kononovich (tiene problemas de salud, discapacidad), amenaz\u00e1ndola para que dijera c\u00f3mo encontrar a sus hijos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tras la desaparici\u00f3n de los hermanos, ni siquiera sus familiares cercanos pudieron averiguar d\u00f3nde estaban ni qu\u00e9 les hab\u00eda ocurrido durante casi dos meses. M\u00e1s tarde, se recibi\u00f3 la informaci\u00f3n proveniente de personas que hab\u00edan sido liberadas de prisi\u00f3n de que los hermanos Kononovich fueron detenidos por la SBU. Tras la detenci\u00f3n, fueron golpeados hasta casi la muerte durante varios d\u00edas, les rompieron las costillas y les destrozaron la cara. Adem\u00e1s se les robaron todas sus pertenencias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tras la detenci\u00f3n, el SBU acus\u00f3 a los Kononovich de violar el art\u00edculo 109 del C\u00f3digo Penal de Ucrania: \u00abacciones destinadas a cambiar por la fuerza el orden constitucional o tomar el poder del Estado\u00bb, y les ofreci\u00f3 firmar una confesi\u00f3n. No aceptaron y fueron brutalmente torturados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El m\u00e9dico solo pudo verlos un mes despu\u00e9s. El SBU amenaz\u00f3 a Alexander con violar a su hija de trece a\u00f1os, Kateryna, delante de \u00e9l. Luego, cuando los hermanos medio muertos fueron finalmente llevados al centro de detenci\u00f3n preventiva, fueron mantenidos durante meses en aislamiento sin productos de higiene ni ropa de abrigo y encerrados en una celda con criminales y asesinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En diciembre de 2022, tras una serie de manifestaciones de partidos de izquierdas y activistas antifascistas en solidaridad con los hermanos en pa\u00edses europeos ante las embajadas de Ucrania, el r\u00e9gimen se vio obligado a liberar a los Kononovich bajo arresto domiciliario con el uso obligatorio de pulseras electr\u00f3nicas. Desde entonces se repiten regularmente los juicios contra ellos que no prosperan por falta de pruebas y porque ellos no admiten su culpabilidad. A pesar de ello, reciben constantemente amenazas de muerte y tambi\u00e9n se les muestra de todas las formas posibles que est\u00e1n bajo vigilancia las 24 horas, se lee su correspondencia, sus llamadas son intervenidas y agentes de la SBU visitan peri\u00f3dicamente su apartamento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En el mismo Tribunal de Distrito Solomianskyi de Kiev, donde se juzga a los hermanos Mija\u00edl y Oleksandr Kononovich, otro comunista y antifascista, Georgy Vladimirovich Buiko, est\u00e1 siendo juzgado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Georgy Vladimirovich Buiko<\/strong> naci\u00f3 en 1947 en Zhytomyr (RSS de Ucrania) y se form\u00f3 en las ideas comunistas mientras estudiaba en la Universidad Estatal de Donetsk. En 1967, se afili\u00f3 al Partido Comunista de la Uni\u00f3n Sovi\u00e9tica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tras la desintegraci\u00f3n de la URSS, no reneg\u00f3 de sus ideas comunistas, sino que se afianz\u00f3 en ellas. Tras la prohibici\u00f3n en 1991 del Partido Comunista, cre\u00f3 el Comit\u00e9 para la Restauraci\u00f3n del Partido Comunista de Ucrania. Georgi Buiko y sus compa\u00f1eros lograron que, en 1993, el Partido Comunista de Ucrania fuera rehabilitado y comenzara a actuar en condiciones de legalidad y sus representantes pudieron ser elegidos diputados del Parlamento de Ucrania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Georgy Buiko se convirti\u00f3 en una de las figuras clave del Partido Comunista de Ucrania (PCU) en el per\u00edodo postsovi\u00e9tico. Trabaj\u00f3 como profesor titular en la Universidad Estatal de Donetsk, es doctor en Historia, fue elegido en dos ocasiones diputado de la Rada Suprema por el Partido Comunista de Ucrania y fue miembro activo de la Uni\u00f3n de Periodistas de Ucrania y de la Federaci\u00f3n Internacional de Periodistas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En Ucrania, tras la desintegraci\u00f3n de la URSS, a\u00f1o tras a\u00f1o se fortalec\u00edan las organizaciones nacionalistas y neonazis. En 2007, para luchar contra la glorificaci\u00f3n del fascismo, Georgiy Vladimirovich Buiko cre\u00f3 y encabez\u00f3 el Comit\u00e9 Antifascista de Ucrania. En 2011, el Comit\u00e9 Antifascista de Ucrania, que \u00e9l dirig\u00eda, junto con el Partido Comunista de Ucrania y el partido Bloque Ruso, organizaron manifestaciones de protesta en Kiev contra el nacionalismo y el neonazismo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entre 2014 y 2015, Georgy Buiko intervino en varias ocasiones en la televisi\u00f3n rusa para criticar duramente a los golpistas que organizaron el golpe fascista en Ucrania. Asimismo, critic\u00f3 el neonazismo y, desde su pa\u00eds, Ucrania, particip\u00f3 activamente en concentraciones en honor a los soldados sovi\u00e9ticos que dieron su vida por la libertad frente al fascismo hitleriano. Junto con sus compa\u00f1eros, intent\u00f3 impedir el derribo de los monumentos a los soldados sovi\u00e9ticos que liberaron Ucrania del fascismo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El Partido Comunista de Ucrania fue prohibido en julio de 2022. En agosto de 2023, Georgiy Buiko fue arrestado y encausado por violar el art\u00edculo 110, Parte 1 del C\u00f3digo Penal de Ucrania y acisado de \u00abviolaci\u00f3n de la integridad territorial e inviolabilidad de Ucrania\u00bb, \u00abconvocatoria p\u00fablica a acciones destinadas a cambiar las fronteras del territorio o de la frontera estatal de Ucrania\u00bb. Adem\u00e1s, el SBU acus\u00f3 a Buiko de mantener publicaciones comunistas y \u00abprorrusas\u00bb en casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La primera audiencia en el caso de Georgy Buiko tuvo lugar el 15 de agosto de 2023, y luego el juicio de Buiko sigue el mismo esquema que con los hermanos Kononovich: la acusaci\u00f3n nunca se present\u00f3 en el tribunal y nunca se pudo determinar cu\u00e1les fueron exactamente las acciones interpretadas como \u00abintromisi\u00f3n en la integridad territorial de Ucrania\u00bb. Ni siquiera el fiscal pudo explicarlo ya que no hay prueba alaguna de \u00abculpabilidad\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La \u00fanica \u00abculpa\u00bb de Georgy Buiko son sus opiniones pol\u00edticas y la dura cr\u00edtica al neonazismo y al fascismo, por lo cual el actual r\u00e9gimen de Ucrania controlado por organizaciones fascistas ha decidido que el comunista de 77 a\u00f1os permanezca indefinidamente en prisi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. CONCLUSIONES.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1\u00ba.- El imperialismo, sobre todo en esta fase de gran agresividad derivada de la profunda crisis econ\u00f3mica del capitalismo \u2013 va acompa\u00f1ado de procesos fascistas en el interior de los pa\u00edses. Las formas m\u00e1s bestiales del fascismo son engendradas, organizadas y financiadas por la oligarqu\u00eda imperialista en colaboraci\u00f3n con las organizaciones fascistas locales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2\u00ba .- El actual r\u00e9gimen fascista de Ucrania es el resultado de un golpe de Estado apoyado y financiado por EE.UU y la UE. Una Ucrania bajo la bota fascista es imprescindible para que su pueblo sirva como carne de ca\u00f1\u00f3n para los objetivos del imperialismo euro-estadounidense contra Rusia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3\u00ba.- Los m\u00e1s de 300.000 presos pol\u00edticos en Ucrania, tanto por defender sus ideales antifascistas, como por oponerse a ir a la guerra, pagan con su libertad, su salud y sus vidas el precio de oponerse al enemigo com\u00fan: el imperialismo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4\u00ba.- La lucha antiimperialista y la preparaci\u00f3n del derrotismo revolucionario en los Estados que forman parte de la OTAN nos exige desarrollar todas las formas posibles de solidaridad internacionalista con los presos pol\u00edticos, sobre todo como los de Ucrania, quienes por la posici\u00f3n que ocupa su pa\u00eds sufren con especial crudeza sus ataques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5\u00ba.- Los procesos de construcci\u00f3n comunista y de unidad antiimperialista de los que CNC forma parte deben contemplar como un pilar b\u00e1sico e ineludible la solidaridad, con los presos pol\u00edticos. tanto en el propio Estado, como en el plano internacional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6.- Esta solidaridad internacionalista, antiimperialista y antifascista, adquiere especial relevancia cuando la oligarqu\u00eda euro-otanista prepara la guerra contra Rusia y el fascismo adquiere formas cada vez m\u00e1s precisas en nuestros Estados como instrumento de dominaci\u00f3n, precisamente en momentos en que la crisis abre objetivamente perspectivas revolucionarias para los oprimidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#sdfootnote1anc\" id=\"sdfootnote1sym\">1<\/a>Los datos sobre la situaci\u00f3n de los presos pol\u00edticos en Ucrania y las historias concretas que han permitido ilustrar este informe han sido obtenidos de <a href=\"https:\/\/is4pp.org\/\">INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS (IS4PP) \u2013 Spreading news about the struggle of political prisoners, sharing their photos and videos, and promoting international solidarity.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#sdfootnote2anc\" id=\"sdfootnote2sym\">2<\/a> La masacre de Volyn fue perpetrada par la organizaci\u00f3n neonazi UPA en 1943 que hoy ocupa destacados puestos de poder en el r\u00e9gimen ucraniano. Esta organizaci\u00f3n junto a otros nacionalistas ucranianos exterminaron alredeor de 100.000 polacos.

The note at the end provides sources (1).&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workers.org\/2026\/07\/94029\/\">Translation: John Catalinotto.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ukraine-prisoners073126-407x509.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Aug. 5, some 92 anti-fascist political prisoners incarcerated in Ukraine will go on a hunger strike to denounce the brutal conditions of their imprisonment and the torture they are suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the alternative press has published articles on the fascist nature of the Ukrainian regime established through a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat in 2014 \u2014 the Euromaidan \u2014 which elevated Nazi organizations to the leadership of the state, particularly to control the repressive forces, much less is known about the persecution unleashed against those who have the courage to oppose them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2015, the three existing communist parties were banned, and another 11 were outlawed in 2022, accused of being \u201cpro-Russian.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. General Information on Political Prisoners in Ukraine.<\/strong> Political prisoners in Ukraine live under particularly harsh conditions, often far worse than those of people convicted of murder, rape and other serious crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are currently more than 50,000 classic political prisoners: people imprisoned for their political views, their antiwar stance or their anti-fascist activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, 150,000 people are being prosecuted for desertion, evasion of mandatory military service, refusal to participate in the war, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The total number of people under investigation or facing criminal charges exceeds 200,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another 300,000 people have been subjected to summonses from the police and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), intimidation, threats, so-called \u201cpreventive conversations,\u201d home visits by security forces and pressure from armed nationalist groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Zelensky regime does not view political prisoners as ordinary inmates but as a personal threat to its power and its existence, which is based on plunder. These are people who protested against the current Nazi regime, corruption, theft and plunder, the government\u2019s illicit enrichment and war and are being persecuted for their beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as occurred in the Nazi concentration camps \u2014 where common criminals were treated much better in ordinary prisons \u2014 Ukrainian political prisoners say they dream of being transferred to regular prisons where those convicted of serious crimes are held, since the conditions there are considerably better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Penal Colonies No. 22 and 86<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Zelensky regime has created specific concentration camps to house political prisoners. Specifically, these are Penal Colony No. 122 in Pyatikhatki and Penal Colony No. 86 in Vinnytsia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In these institutions, political prisoners are systematically deprived of their human dignity and fundamental rights. According to the prisoners, administrators and prison staff refer to them disparagingly as \u201cGypsies,\u201d a [racist] term that conveys a sense of total powerlessness: they are nobody, they have no rights, and anything can be done to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once again, this attitude is reminiscent of the practices of Nazi Germany, where certain groups of people were deliberately declared inferior, dehumanized and effectively excluded from the legal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Political prisoners live without hot water or heating. They are forced to sleep in rooms that resemble pigsties, as the facilities are not properly equipped. They are forced to work 12 hours a day. For one month of this forced labor, they receive approximately 4 euros; all of this is documented in official records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the death of a political prisoner has no real legal consequences for the prison administration. The dehumanization of the prisoners creates an atmosphere of total impunity for those in authority, in which neither the health nor the lives of prisoners are valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Several specific incidents illustrate the dire situation of political prisoners in Ukraine.<\/strong> As early as February 2026, approximately one month after their arrival, the first fatality occurred: Andriy Gimgin. According to available information, he died after being held in intolerable conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vinnytsia Penitentiary Colony No. 86 began to be transformed into a detention center for political prisoners (a concentration camp) in December 2025. The first prisoners were transferred there in January 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andriy Gimgin\u2019s death was the first tragic testament to the consequences of the system of abuse, exploitation, denial of medical care and total marginalization of political prisoners at Vinnytsia Penal Colony No. 86. Their deaths demonstrate the tragic consequences that can result from prolonged incarceration, psychological pressure, the lack of hope for a fair trial and the demand to confess to a crime that was not committed. The reason for their punishment is that Oleksandr Melnyk dared to speak out about his human and civil rights and to denounce to the world the torture, murder and mistreatment of prisoners at Colony No. 86.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another recent case involves Vladimir Novikov, who was held in a pretrial detention center alongside the Ukrainian communist brothers Mikhail and Oleksandr Kononovich. He was sentenced to ten years in prison with confiscation of property. Vladimir Novikov also refused to cooperate with the SBU, to incriminate himself or to accept the fabricated criminal case. He refused to yield to pressure and admit guilt for a crime he had not committed. In an act of extreme protest against the illegality and the fabricated criminal case, Vladimir Novikov hanged himself in his cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Political prisoner Oleksandr Melnyk, who was the first to publicly denounce the events at Vinnytsia Penitentiary Colony No. 86, is being subjected to extreme cruelty. As a result, Oleksandr Melnyk has been held in solitary confinement for 30 days. There, he remains without access to drinking water, rest or even a toilet (just a bucket in a corner for defecation), food or basic living conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was he who brought to light information about brutal beatings, humiliations and sexual abuse of prisoners, including allegations of rape using a mop. According to the prisoners, the abuses are videotaped to later blackmail and intimidate the victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oleksandr Melnyk\u2019s solitary confinement is retaliation for having denounced these crimes and an attempt to silence him. His life and health are in grave danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. The case of the Kononovich brothers and Georgy Buiko: exemplary cases of persecution, torture and resistance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mikhail and Aleksander Kononovich, who are staunch communists, began denouncing the fascism that was gradually infiltrating Ukrainian society \u2014 with the authorities\u2019 tacit approval \u2014 in 2010. As a result, they were repeatedly beaten, and the premises of the association they founded, \u201cFree Brothers,\u201d were raided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite this, the Kononovich brothers continued their anti-fascist activities, and in 2012, while flying a hang glider, they distributed information about the massacre of Poles perpetrated by Bandera\u2019s followers \u2014 the fascist UPA [Ukrainian Insurgent Army (Ukrainska Povstanska Armiia)] organization \u2014 in Volyn (2); they dropped the leaflets over the site where the Bandershtadt nationalist festival was being held. After that, they were attacked and beaten by a group of neo-Nazis wearing balaclavas and camouflage uniforms. As early as 2012, neo-Nazi groups had weapons and combat units, as well as the support of the Ukrainian authorities for their actions and the full collusion of the Ukrainian police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the fascist coup d\u2019\u00e9tat of 2014, the struggle became even more dangerous, but the brothers\u2019 activism continued. In 2014, Mikhail became head of the Leninist Communist Youth Union of Ukraine, while Alexander became vice president of the Anti-Fascist Committee of Ukraine. The brothers actively protested against the war in Donbass and Washington\u2019s interference in Ukraine\u2019s affairs. The repression intensified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the 2014 Maidan coup d\u2019\u00e9tat, the Kononovich brothers have carried out numerous solidarity activities with the people of Donbass. From that time until 2018, Aleksandr was attacked five times and Mikhail six times. In none of these cases have the attackers been brought to justice, even though, in almost all of them, the perpetrators did not even conceal their faces. On one occasion, the attack was so brutal that the brothers had to be taken away by ambulance; afterward, the neo-Nazi thugs gave interviews standing next to a pool of blood, without hiding at all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On another occasion, the Banderites took the brothers into the forest and forced them, in front of a camera, to renounce their communist convictions. But the camera captured only two bloodied faces, as the Kononovich brothers did not renounce their beliefs. On another occasion, Nazi thugs pierced Mikhail Kononovich\u2019s head with an iron spike. However, all criminal cases against the radical militiamen were \u201cdismissed\u201d during the pretrial investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On March 2, 2022, Alexander and Mikhail Kononovich disappeared. Just before their disappearance, they had been hounded by Banderites, who first called for reprisals against the brothers on social media and then went to pressure the Kononovichs\u2019 mother (who has health problems and a disability), threatening her to make her reveal how to find her sons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the brothers\u2019 disappearance, not even their close relatives were able to find out where they were or what had happened to them for nearly two months. Later, information was received from people who had been released from prison that the Kononovich brothers had been detained by the SBU. After their detention, they were beaten nearly to death over several days; their ribs were broken and their faces were severely disfigured. In addition, all their belongings were stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After their arrest, the SBU accused the Kononoviches of violating Article 109 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: \u201cactions aimed at forcibly changing the constitutional order or seizing state power,\u201d and pressured them to sign a confession. They refused and were brutally tortured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A doctor was only able to examine them a month later. The SBU threatened Alexander that they would rape his 13-year-old daughter, Kateryna, in front of him. Later, when the half-dead brothers were finally taken to the pretrial detention center, they were held for months in solitary confinement without hygiene products or warm clothing and locked in a cell with criminals and murderers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In December 2022, following a series of demonstrations by left-wing parties and anti-fascist activists in solidarity with the brothers outside Ukrainian embassies in European countries, the regime was forced to release the Kononovich brothers under house arrest with mandatory electronic ankle monitors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, trials against them have been held repeatedly but have failed due to lack of evidence, and because they do not admit guilt. Despite this, they constantly receive death threats and are made to feel in every possible way that they are under 24-hour surveillance: their correspondence is read, their calls are tapped, and SBU agents periodically visit their apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same Solomianskyi District Court in Kiev, where brothers Mikhail and Aleksandr Kononovich are on trial, another communist and anti-fascist, Georgy Vladimirovich Buiko, is currently on trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Georgy Vladimirovich Buiko was born in 1947 in Zhytomyr (Ukrainian SSR) and was educated in communist ideology while studying at Donetsk State University. In 1967 he joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the collapse of the USSR, he did not renounce his communist ideals but instead became even more committed to them. After the Communist Party was banned in 1991, he founded the Committee for the Restoration of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Georgi Buiko and his colleagues succeeded in having the Communist Party of Ukraine reinstated in 1993, allowing it to operate legally, and its representatives were elected as deputies to the Ukrainian Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Georgy Buiko became one of the key figures in the Communist Party of Ukraine (CPU) during the post-Soviet period. He worked as a full professor at Donetsk State University, holds a Ph.D. in history, was twice elected to the Verkhovna Rada as a representative of the Communist Party of Ukraine and was an active member of the Union of Journalists of Ukraine and the International Federation of Journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Ukraine, following the collapse of the USSR, nationalist and neo-Nazi organizations grew stronger year after year. In 2007, to combat the glorification of fascism, Georgiy Vladimirovich Buiko founded and led the Anti-Fascist Committee of Ukraine. In 2011, the Anti-Fascist Committee of Ukraine, which he headed, together with the Communist Party of Ukraine and the Russian Bloc party, organized protest rallies in Kiev against nationalism and neo-Nazism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2014 and 2015, Georgy Buiko appeared on Russian television on several occasions to harshly criticize the coup plotters who organized the fascist coup in Ukraine. He also criticized neo-Nazism and, from his home country of Ukraine, actively participated in rallies honoring the Soviet soldiers who gave their lives for freedom in the fight against Hitler\u2019s fascism. Together with his comrades, he tried to prevent the demolition of monuments to the Soviet soldiers who liberated Ukraine from fascism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Communist Party of Ukraine was banned in July 2022. In August 2023, Georgiy Buiko was arrested and charged with violating Article 110, Part 1, of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and accused of \u201cviolating the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine\u201d and \u201cpublicly calling for actions aimed at changing the borders of Ukraine\u2019s territory or state border.\u201d In addition, the SBU accused Buiko of keeping communist and \u201cpro-Russian\u201d publications at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first hearing in Georgiy Buiko\u2019s case took place on Aug. 15, 2023, and Buiko\u2019s trial has since followed the same pattern as that of the Kononovich brothers: the prosecution never appeared in court, and it was never possible to determine exactly which actions were interpreted as \u201cinterference with the territorial integrity of Ukraine.\u201d Not even the prosecutor could explain this, as there is absolutely no evidence of \u201cguilt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Georgy Buiko\u2019s only \u201ccrime\u201d is his political views and his harsh criticism of neo-Nazism and fascism, which is why the current Ukrainian regime \u2014 controlled by fascist organizations \u2014 has decided that the 77-year-old communist should remain in prison indefinitely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4 . Conclusions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Imperialism \u2014 especially in this phase of great aggression stemming from capitalism\u2019s deep economic crisis \u2014 is accompanied by fascist processes within countries. The most brutal forms of fascism are spawned, organized and financed by the imperialist oligarchy in collaboration with local fascist organizations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The current fascist regime in Ukraine is the result of a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat supported and financed by the U.S. and the European Union. A Ukraine under the fascist boot is essential [to the West] so that its people can serve as cannon fodder for the objectives of Euro-American imperialism against Russia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The more than 300,000 political prisoners in Ukraine \u2014 whether for defending their anti-fascist ideals or for refusing to go to war \u2014 are paying with their freedom, their health and their lives the price of opposing the common enemy: imperialism.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The anti-imperialist struggle and the preparation for revolutionary defeatism in the NATO member states require us to develop all possible forms of internationalist solidarity with political prisoners, especially those in Ukraine, who, due to their country\u2019s position, suffer particularly harsh attacks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The processes of communist construction and anti-imperialist unity of which the Coordination of Communist Cells (CNC) is a part must regard solidarity with political prisoners \u2014 both within our own country and on the international stage \u2014 as a fundamental and indispensable pillar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This internationalist, anti-imperialist and anti-fascist solidarity takes on special relevance as the Euro-NATO oligarchy prepares for war against Russia and fascism takes on increasingly concrete forms in our countries as an instrument of domination \u2014 precisely at a time when the crisis objectively opens up revolutionary prospects for the oppressed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NOTES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(1) The data on the situation of political prisoners in Ukraine and the specific stories that have helped illustrate this report were obtained from INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS (IS4PP) \u2014 Spreading news about the struggle of political prisoners, sharing their photos and videos and promoting international solidarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(2) The Volhynia massacre was perpetrated by the neo-Nazi organization UPA in 1943; today, members of this organization hold prominent positions of power within the Ukrainian regime. This organization, along with other Ukrainian nationalists, exterminated approximately 100,000 Polish people. The memory of that massacre \u2014 like so many others that remain unpunished to this day \u2014 has recently led the Polish government to revoke the Order of the White Eagle, which had previously been awarded to Zelensky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Informe de la Coordinaci\u00f3n de N\u00facleos Comunistas (CNC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2085,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-documentos-cnc","category-internacional"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cncomunistas.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cncomunistas.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cncomunistas.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cncomunistas.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cncomunistas.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2898"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/cncomunistas.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2898\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2910,"href":"https:\/\/cncomunistas.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2898\/revisions\/2910"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cncomunistas.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cncomunistas.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cncomunistas.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cncomunistas.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
