An article about Daria Egereva has appeared on the Wikipedia platform. The material was published in German under the name Darja Anatoljewna Jegerewa. According to human rights defenders, an English-language version of the page is expected to be created in the near future.


The article states that Egereva is a representative of the Selkup, one of Russia’s Indigenous small-numbered peoples, a climate activist, and a participant in international climate negotiations. She is listed as one of the co-chairs of the International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change, which takes part in conferences held under the auspices of the United Nations.


The publication also describes her work defending Indigenous rights, preserving languages and traditions, and participating in international climate summits.


A separate section is devoted to her criminal prosecution. According to the article, she was detained in Moscow in December 2025 and placed in pre-trial detention. It states that she faces charges under Article 205.5 Part 2 of the Russian Criminal Code (“participation in the activities of a terrorist organization”). Human rights groups, as noted in the text, consider the case politically motivated and call for her release.


Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia whose content is created and edited by volunteers from around the world in many languages. The publication of an article on this international platform may help draw wider global attention to the activist’s case beyond Russia.
