People of Russia

Activists or ordinary people. Explore the personal histories of Russian people standing for democracy.

To put a human face to social phenomena, we recommend you to read a few stories of real Russians against the war. Some of them are brave activists, some of them just ordinary people. All of them vehemently disagree with the actions of their country – and this position affected their life in one way or another.

    I am an artist and a queer. I would like to tell my story as part of the overall Russian context. I will also have to censor myself.
