Ivan Yakovlev managed to escape from labour slavery in
Dagestan twice; at first he worked at a brick factory, then on a farm as a
shepherd, the "Alternativa" anti-slavery movement has reported.
Commentators are outraged by the widespread use of forced labour in Dagestan.
Ivan Yakovlev, a resident of Udmurtia, came to Moscow to
earn money, since there was no work in his village. In May 2021, at the
Kazanski Railway Station in Moscow, unknown persons offered him a job with
excellent conditions. After the man agreed, they offered him to have dinner.
Yakovlev woke up already in Dagestan at a brick factory located 120 km from
Makhachkala, says the message of the "Alternativa" movement on the
Instagram, posted on August 1.
After two weeks, he managed to escape. He met three men
who offered him to work as a shepherd on a farm. Ivan agreed, as he saw no
other way out. However, after three days he wanted to leave the farm, but the
owners told him that he had been bought for one ram, which must be worked out.
Ivan managed to run away from the farm two months later.
"Now, Ivan is with us. In the future, we'll send him home," the
message of the "Alternativa" says.
Social network users have noted that there are frequent
cases of the use of forced labour in Dagestan. "I'm just wondering that so
many people know about this brick factory, but they can't shut it down! Why
can't they free the people?" the user faridachka05 has
asked. "People are bought for sheep – it's 21st century! I am
shocked," the user homik1981 has stated.
