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. This podcast is produced by Paper Media — independent media from St. Petersburg. If you enjoy Russian Resistance, please support our job.

episode 5: How to stop Putin by damaging the elites and why don’t Russians protest? The sociological perspective
It may sound surprising, but the Russians, Germans and even Ukrainians are on the same side. Our goal is to confront the corrupt financial and political elites across Europe. Why and how did it happen? Russian sociologist Grigory Yudin answers this question.
We discussed why the country for which the victory over fascism was so important, arranges flash mobs in support of a new war; why Russians perceive politics as a clownery and what we need to do to stop Putin’s actions.
