Since February 24, 2022, activists from Russia and the diaspora have been organizing resistance against Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine — amidst massive state repression. In this conversation, Lölja Nordic and Pasha Kogan discuss anti-war activism and human rights work in the face of persecution, visions of peace beyond state narratives, and what it means to fight for a different society under wartime conditions.
