\u201cFaces of the Russian Resistance\u201d \u2014 a series of international exhibitions about Russians who took a stand against Putin\u2019s regime and found themselves imprisoned as a result.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussians love Putin,\u201d \u201cmost Russians support the war,\u201d \u201cRussians don\u2019t protest\u201d\u2014 are clich\u00e9s often heard in various countries by people unfamiliar with the real situation in Russia. We are a team of municipal councillors and anti-war activists who left Russia and we present a project intended to shatter these stereotypes. Our mission is to share the stories of Russians who have fought for over 20 years for citizens\u2019 rights, freedom of speech, and fair elections \u2014and, naturally, against the war.<\/p>\n

\u201cFaces of the Russian Resistance\u201d are not just the politicians who fought openly against Putin\u2019s regime. They are also ordinary citizens who couldn\u2019t accept the deceitful propaganda and the invasion of a neighbouring country. They are men and women, young and old, political activists, artists, scholars, students, fathers, and mothers. They were all thrown into prison, some for years, others for decades.<\/p>\n

According to \u201cMemorial\u201d, there are 590 political prisoners in Russia, and we want to share their stories. Our aim, through city exhibitions, is to show to the global community the faces and destinies of Russians opposing Putin\u2019s regime. Russians stand against the war, they protest, they post their opinions on social media, they distribute leaflets, they set draft offices ablaze, they create electoral competition, lead human rights organisations, conduct anti-corruption investigations, and organise anti-war activities. The world should be aware of this.<\/p>\n
