(rus. Гулагу-нет, "No more GULAG!") is a Russian anti-corruption, anti-torture human rights organization and website. It was founded in 2011 by Russian human rights activist Vladimir Osechkin.

Osechkin is seen here reading letters from Russians on the front.

"Commanders on the front line threaten soldiers with criminal charges and a “one way ticket” because of their wives’ struggle to get them home."

Wives created a Telegram called "Way Home" and encouraged each other as they tried to find their husbands on the front in Ukraine.

They planned a peaceful protest after their letter-writing campaigns didn't work. Putin shut down the protests and refused them permits to gather. Then the FSB went to work on destroying the online community. Hundreds (possibly bots) reported the site as fake & Telegram labelled it as Fake.

Now their husbands lives are being threatened because the wives asked for them to be relieved for a holiday. Some have been away from home since Jan 2022.
