- Description
- Street artist Philippenzo, or Philipp Kozlov, has used his political graffiti to oppose the war in Ukraine. He was arrested at a Moscow airport this summer, and in October, he was added to the wanted list on criminal charges.
His example shows how Russian authorities are closely monitoring contemporary artists, leaving them with two main choices: to emigrate or to silence their views on the war.
In this episode, we spoke with artists in Russia and abroad and people from the contemporary art world about what has changed in this field since February 2022 and how they see the future prospects for Russian contemporary art.
Chapters:
00:00 – The story of Philippenzo, a street artist placed on Russia's wanted list
03:04 – The story of Pavel Otdelnov, who emigrated from Russia after the invasion
05:33 – Street artist Vlada MV Picture, who stayed in Russia and now handles sensitive topics in more subtle ways

- Russia’s North Caucasus often appears in the news due to events in Chechnya. This week, the region made global headlines when anti-Israeli protests broke out in Dagestan.
In this episode, we examine women’s rights in the North Caucasus, a conservative, predominantly Muslim part of Russia.
Another recent story from this region that has been widely discussed in the Russian media is that of Marina Yandieva, 28, from the republic of Ingushetia, who fled her home after years of domestic violence. To help her escape, Magomed Alamov, a Chechen lawyer working with the human rights organization SK SOS, gave her a ride to the nearest town at the group’s request, without even knowing her story. After the family learned of their daughter’s disappearance, Alamov was taken hostage and threatened with death if Marina did not return home.
Yandieva’s story is not unique. Human rights activists regularly report on women who flee from domestic violence but...

- Description
- In the nearly two years since the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, a common criticism of Russians by outside observers has been that they largely continue to live their lives as if nothing serious is happening.
In this episode, we take a closer look at how Russians are living amid the war. We speak with residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg share how their lives have been changed by the war. We later hear from leading sociologist Denis Volkov about how the behavior of Russian society is unique against the backdrop of the war and what trends have emerged in different regions of the country.
The Moscow Times recently published a report on the Muscovites who party hard as a form of escapism from the war. For this episode, we asked the report’s author if she was shocked by such behavior when she returned to the Russian capital after several months abroad.

In Russia, the conflict between is also at the center of attention. State propaganda has criticized the actions of the Israeli authorities, blamed the United States for failing to secure peace and mocked Russians who moved to Israel in opposition to the invasion of Ukraine. At the same time, thousands of Russians who moved to Israel since February 2022 have voiced solidarity with their new country and are taking part in efforts to help the victims of the conflict.

- Description
- For decades, Russia has been an important political player in the South Caucasus and was perceived as a mediator between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. However, after the Nagorno-Karabakh war of 2020, Armenia began to lose faith in Russia as an ally and protector. With the latest Azerbaijani escalation and the dissolution of Nagorno-Karabakh's Armenian separatist government, Russian-Armenian relations appear to have reached the most tense point in their history.
In this episode, we will discuss why Russian peacekeepers did not intervene when Azerbaijan launched its offensive and how the crisis changes the balance of power in the South Caucasus with our guests, Caucasus expert Kirill Krivosheev and journalist Tom Bennett.

- Since the start of the war in Ukraine, a small fraction of independent foreign journalists in Russia have stayed there to continue reporting on what is happening on the ground. Faced with both administrative difficulties and editorial pressure, their work becomes more dangerous every day, especially after the arrest of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.
This year, Russia has refused to extend the visas and press accreditations of several foreign journalists, leaving them no choice but to depart the country. Among them are this week's guests: Dutch journalist and former Moscow Times editor-in-chief Eva Hartog and Finnish journalist Anna-Lena Lauren, who also works for Swedish media. They reflected on their work in Russia and discuss why Russia might have refused to extend their visas.

- Over the past year, Russia has managed to withstand unprecedented Western sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine. Part of this success has been the war itself — increased military spending has helped boost the economy, as Moscow produces more tanks, missiles, guns and ammo. But how sustainable is the militarization of Russia’s economy?
In this episode, we are joined by business and economics reporter Jake Cordell, who explains what emergency measures the Russian authorities have taken to defy earlier predictions of economic collapse, how ordinary Russians are feeling the impact of sanctions, and where the economy might be headed into the future.
