It seems the opposition in Russia is dead. It might be true because the most famous leaders of the democratic opposition are in prison or abroad. Can we say that a resistance movement will ever form in Russia? Are there people inside the country who are ready to resist the dictatorial regime of Vladimir Putin? 

It is worth saying that Putin's position on the war with Ukraine is not far right or radical compare to the millions of Russians who think that Putin cares too much about human rights in Russia and about the lives of ordinary peaceful Ukrainians. Among these people there are leaders who, potentially, at the slightest turbulence, will be ready to take power with weapons in their hands.

But even among the opposition, as it turned out last year, there are a number of cells dissatisfied with the war, and these groups operate by secret methods throughout the entire country. The number of terrorist attacks, attempts on radical supporters of the war is growing, the so-called “rail war” is escalating (more and more often partisans derail trains in Russia)

In addition, the very question of confrontation with the regime is changing. The opinion that the regime can be overthrown only with weapons in hand is more and more popular. The idea that the fight with Putin’s army, police and special services both inside Russia and on the territory of Ukraine joining the Ukrainian military doesn’t sound senseless anymore. 

Led by a historian Vadim Malinovsky, this seminar will give an idea of ​​​​what, in addition to events at the frontline, is happening and will continue to happen inside Russia among the armed formations.

Vadim is a historian (MA) who has graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University. His focus is contemporary Russian history. He is working on a PhD dissertation on Stalin's national policy.

Illuminating Lecture

Very informative and illuminating lecture by Vadim Malinowski about the situation in Russia and the many armed groups that not only Ukraine and Russia have to deal with, but also the world. He shared so much information that is not shared by the media in the US. Frightening reality but need to be informed as to that reality.
