Russian Resistance

Paper Media

We might not see millions in the streets, but the resistance is there. While the civil servants paint over hundreds of new anti-war graffiti, people in Russia are protesting and making their voices heard on social media despite risking their freedom. But who are they, and are they fighting a lost battle? Together with activists, journalists, artists, and people who can’t keep silent we’ll discuss how we, Russians, lost our freedom, why keep fighting and why there’s still hope. This podcast is produced by Paper Media — independent media from St. Petersburg. If you enjoy Russian Resistance, please support
