A graduate of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, Tatiana Glushkova has been engaged in human rights work since 2011. She represented victims of gravest and most systematic human rights violations in Russia, such as enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings and torture in the North Caucasus, both before national courts and the ECHR. She also defended peaceful protesters, journalists, opposition politicians and human rights defenders persecuted by the authorities. Tatiana’s work on minority rights resulted in a landmarking judgment in which the ECHR had for the first time found a violation of the prohibition of discrimination because of a person’s gender identity. Recently, Tatiana has been heavily involved in defending Memorial in court proceedings against liquidation claims by the Russian authorities.
In 2022 Tatiana was named the Head of Advocacy and elected a Board Member of Memorial Human Rights Defence Centre, and NGO founded by the supporters of the liquidated Human Rights Centre “Memorial”
