Introduction
Rosatom is a Russian state-owned corporation which builds and operates nuclear 
power plants in Russia and globally. The state-run nuclear industry in Russia 
has a long history of nuclear crises, including the Kyshtym disaster in 1957 
and Chernobyl in 1986. Yet Rosatom plans to build dozens of nuclear reactors 
in Russia, to export its deadly nuclear technologies to other countries, and 
then to import their hazardous nuclear waste.
This report is a collection of events and details about the resistance to 
Russian state nuclear corporation, Rosatom, and other activities that have 
led to the pollution of the environment and violation of human rights. Social 
and environmental conflicts created by Rosatom have been left unresolved for 
years, while at the same time, environmental defenders who have raised these 
issues, have consistently experienced reprisals.
