Our project would not be possible without our teams of volunteers. Some of them work from Russian Federation, others from abroad. The cooperation with our organisation is illegal in Russia, so some of us decided to stay anonymous.
Our project started as a conversation between Evgenii from Russian Federation and Petr from Czech Republic. We hope the clash between those two perspectives makes the project accessible to European audience.
Our team gradually grew into group of people scattered around the world, who are passionate about connecting the democratic part of the Russia with the rest of the world.
Our social media team adapts our content to social media platform. They tell our stories and articles visually, moderate discussion under the posts and react to current trends. Without them, connection to our European audience would be impossible.
Our authors are the backbone of the project, as they:
Our media platform would not exist without an international team of volunteers. Do you want to become one? Here's the list of currently opened positions:

We talk about the current problems of Russia and of its people, standing against the war and for democracy. We strive to make our content as accessible as possible to the European audience.

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.
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.

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.
