A retired doctor against the political machine: fighting for freedom in rural Russia

Alexander Pravdin is 73 years old. He lives in a small village near St. Petersburg. He used to work as a doctor in a psychiatric hospital, then he became an entrepreneur and settled in the village. He began to speak out against the arbitrariness of the Russian authorities and draw posters about it. Of course, the authorities did not like it and they took away Alexander's business. But he does not give up. We asked Alexander why he believes that Russia has stolen the future from the whole world, how his generation treats the war and the USSR and whether Russia will be free.

Trying to analyze Russia: political scientist Ekaterina Schulmann explains how to properly understand the day-to-day life of a nuclear power and Putin’s desire to conquer the neighbor

Ekaterina Schulmann is a political scientist and publicist. She has been explaining the inevitable political processes, laws, and underlying logic that guides the Russian government for years. She has a big fan base In Russia and some people see her as the next president of the country. But now it’s even theoretically impossible since Ekaterina got listed as a foreign agent, as were many others who spoke their thoughts about Russian politics. Ekaterina, as probably every rational person, was certain that war wasn't going to happen — and made a mistake. We talked to her about how the Russian citizens are forced to leave the country, what the Kremlin is afraid of, what future awaits Russian science, and why both Russia and Ukraine are at war with Hitler.
