How to keep fighting when you've lost your freedom
RUSSIAN RESISTANCE
«Why don’t Russians protest?»
We might not see millions in the streets, but the resistance is there — protesting, picketing and making their voices heard on social media despite risking their freedom.
But who are they, and are they fighting a lost battle with the Russian authorities?
Together with activists, journalists, artists, and people who can’t keep silent we’ll discuss why keep fighting and why there’s still hope.
