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.
