After Russia

  • February 29, 2024

    • We had some time off social media, busy with preparations. Here are the 3 most important things that happened in our project:

      1. Ask a Russian 🙋

      We believe in dialogue, difficult questions first. Hence our new project, Ask a Russian: We collect questions from european audience. We answer any question that gets the most votes.

      - short interviews - social reaserch - infographics - personal stories - … and more

      2. New articles in Russia Explained ✍️

      We’ve published 32 articles that explain Russia to people who never lived in it. Those are our favourites:

      👉 Russia and Ecology 🌱 👉 Doublespeak and Newspeak: Controlling Words—Controlling Minds 📢 👉 How All of Russian TV Became State-Controlled 📺

      3. We are Prague-based now 🇨🇿

      Majority of our team stays international, but good part of our core team (including the founders) relocated to Prague. We are looking for new people to extend our team - if interested, let us know on info@after-russia.org.

      Our SMM team is a bit understuffed, but we’ll try our best to send updates more frequently from now on. Thank you! Petr / After Russia

We want to make people of Russia, who stand for peace and democracy, heard. We publish their stories and interview them in Ask a Russian project.

We can publish your experience anonymously.

Tell your story

Our project is ran by international volunteers - not a single member of the team is paid in any way. The project, however, has running costs: hosting, domains, subscription to paid online services (such as Midjourney or Fillout.com) and advertising.

Our stand on the Russian invasion to Ukraine

Russia started the war against Ukraine. This war is happening from 2014. It has only intensified on February 24th 2022. Milions of Ukrainians are suffering. The perpetrators of this must be brought to justice for their crimes.

Russian regime tries to silence its liberal voices. Russian people against the war exist - and the Russian regime tries its best to silence them. We want to prevent that and make their voices heard.

Connection is crucial. The Russian liberal initiatives are hard to read for European public at times. The legal, social and historical context of Russia is not always clear. We want to share information, build bridges and connect the liberal Russia with The West.

We believe in dialogue, not isolation. The oppositional powers in Russia will not be able to change anything without the support of the democratic world. We also believe that the dialogue should go both ways.

The choice is yours. We understand the anger for the Russian crimes. It is up to you whether you want to listen to the Russian people standing against this.
