Inside Russia’s Crackdown on Dissent
The Daily - Un pódcast de The New York Times
Days after Russia invaded Ukraine, the Kremlin made it a crime to oppose the war in public. Since then, it has waged a relentless campaign of repression, putting Russian citizens in jail for offenses as small as holding a poster or sharing a news article on social media. Valerie Hopkins, an international correspondent for The Times, tells the story of Olesya Krivtsova, a 19-year-old student who faces up to 10 years in prison after posting on social media, and explains why the Russian government is so determined to silence those like her. Guest: Valerie Hopkins, an international correspondent for The New York Times, covering Russia and the war in Ukraine.
