Aleksey Ladin is a Russian human rights defender and lawyer. Since 2015 he has been working to provide legal aid to Ukrainians who have been persecuted by Russia on politically motivated charges. His human rights work has included representing human rights organisation Agora and working as an independent lawyer.
