We use Google forms for two purposes:
We make public calls for volunteers to join our team. For communication and gathering data we use Google Forms, where we ask the participants to provide us their Telegram contact details to which we can send an invitation to join a private channel. We do not process those details in any other way, neither we share them with anybody else.
This Google Form does not collect e-mail address of people who fill it in.
We urge Russian people against the war to share their stories, which they can send us through Google Form. Sharing their story however can have major implications due to repressive measures of Russian Federation, so privacy is a big concern.
For this reason the Google Form by default does not collect e-mail address of people who fill it in. People can leave their e-mail optionally, if they choose to cooperate with us on the editing process of their story. We use the provided e-mail address solely for communication purposes and do not share it with anyone.
For measuring the page views we use Plausible.io, the analytics built with privacy in mind. The data collected by this tool are completely anonymized and fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, PECR and other privacy regulations.

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.
