The 'For Human Rights' movement in Russia began in 1997. Its goal was the establishment of the rule of law and the development of civil society in Russia. The movement included several dozens of regional and local human rights organizations. The website of the All Russian Public Movement for Human Rights NGO published news on the most high-profile cases of the last few years. For example, human rights activists wrote about the cases of Konstantin Kotov, the 'Network' ('Set') and the 'New Greatness' ('Novoye Velichiye') cases, as well as about the persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses. In addition, human rights activists sought to launch investigations of crimes in the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia.

After the liquidation of the Russia-wide Social Movement 'For Human Rights', the support of the human rights activities of the project is carried out through the NGO ROOSSPH 'Hotline'.
