Natallia Dulina
Natallia Dulina is a former associate professor of the Italian language department at MSLU. She was detained in early October 2022 as part of a criminal case for participating in protests (Article 342 of the Criminal Code). At least six law enforcement officers were present during her detention. In the previous year, Natallia had already been detained and tried four times under politically motivated administrative charges. On June 21, 2025, Natallia was released along with 13 other political prisoners.
Freedom is the absence of fear. My home is wherever I am. It is with me, inside me. Life after imprisonment is a continuation of ordinary life. It never really stopped. Only the scenery is different. But the stage is the same. And the actor is the same. When you see that someone is suffering and you cannot help them – you just need to hug them. I hug all those who are still there, in imprisonment.
