Detentions during public actions

Description

The dataset includes information on detentions in Moscow starting from 2012 and in Saint-Petersburg from 2013. Information on other regions and annexed Crimea has been available since 2020. Data of 2021 is still preliminary and is currently undergoing verifications and checks (for more details, see here).

It’s important to note that the dataset and its visual representations reflect the number of detentions rather than the number of individuals detained. This distinction is used because the same individual can be detained at different protests within a few days.

The data set is in table form (.csv).
The data set is in Russian and English language.

The data set is publicly available under https://data.ovd.info/dannye-po-zaderzhaniyam-na-publichnykh-akciyakh-za-2011-2023?utm_source=tg_live&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=news&utm_term=19_05_24.
