Yevgenia Baryshnikova from Kaliningrad died on the morning of August 7, at the age of 96. This happened a month and a half after her son, Igor Baryshnikov, was imprisoned.

Lately, Yevgenia Baryshnikova had difficulty with mobility. Her daughter-in-law was taking care of her. Her son Igor has been diagnosed with a tumor with potential symptoms of cancer. Human rights advocates earlier warned that the sentence could claim the lives of both the imprisoned Kaliningrad resident and his elderly mother.

In June, Igor Baryshnikov was sentenced to a 7.5-year prison term on charges of disseminating false information about the military in his anti-war posts. Baryshnikov's family received support from Kaliningrad activists and former political prisoners. On platforms such as "Zaodno" and "OVD-Info," they raised funds for independent legal representation for Baryshnikov.

Activist Vadim Khairullin organized a fundraising campaign for Igor Baryshnikov. The funds will be spent on transfers to the correctional facility, medications, and equipment required for urinary discharge through a tube. Khairullin says that the attorney is preparing the paperwork to request the convict to be released based on his deteriorating health condition. This might necessitate further assessments from civilian medical specialists. If you wish to contribute, you can do so through the following link.
