Лев Пономарёв is a renowned civil rights activist and the founder of За права человека (For Human Rights) project. This project emerged in response to the increasing systematic violations of human rights by the Russian authorities. In 1997, the All-Russian Public Movement For Human Rights was established as a federation of various human rights organizations across the country.

Its main objective is to establish a rule of law and promote the development of civil society in Russia. What sets this movement apart is its multifaceted approach, covering a wide range of human rights issues. They have been at the forefront of advocating for the rights of environmental protesters in Kazan and the ongoing struggle against the controversial landfill site in Shies.

Despite facing significant challenges and being labeled a foreign agent organization, За права человека continues to fight for justice and stand up against oppressions. Their tireless efforts have made a profound impact on protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals in Russia.
