Gender violence, rooted in power imbalance, spreads through Russia, echoing in Ukraine conflict. Cultural and structural factors fuel a cycle of abuse, silencing victims. Recognising its link to authoritarian rule offers insights into systemic oppression, urging solidarity for change.
Every day all kinds of atrocities are happening, the Iron Curtain is getting more tangible and people are getting more bloodthirsty.
...No one could ever imagine that literally tomorrow you would have to turn your life around 180 degrees and leave for a foreign country.
How the Russian regime fights for traditional values
In Russia, a human life is worth nothing
It blindly moves like a roller, like a tank, crushing human lives
Some unknown people tried to take me and the children “to the police, because we’re all terrorists”
The victor isn’t the smartest, the bravest, the most privileged — the victor is the most stubborn
We lost the chance to choose our future
My 6 years old son is growing up without me
Russia started the war against Ukraine. This war is happening from 2014. It has only intensified on February 24th 2022. Milions of Ukrainians are suffering. The perpetrators of this must be brought to justice for their crimes.
Russian regime tries to silence its liberal voices. Russian people against the war exist - and the Russian regime tries its best to silence them. We want to prevent that and make their voices heard.
Connection is crucial. The Russian liberal initiatives are hard to read for European public at times. The legal, social and historical context of Russia is not always clear. We want to share information, build bridges and connect the liberal Russia with The West.
We believe in dialogue, not isolation. The oppositional powers in Russia will not be able to change anything without the support of the democratic world. We also believe that the dialogue should go both ways.
The choice is yours. We understand the anger for the Russian crimes. It is up to you whether you want to listen to the Russian people standing against this.
