This new generation of writers is not just writing about the topics mentioned above, but also exploring themes of identity, belonging, and the search for meaning in a world that feels increasingly fragmented and uncertain. The diaspora provides a space for them to connect, share their work, and find support.

This project aims to create a platform for open dialogue and critical thinking, fostering a space for Russians to engage with diverse perspectives and challenge the official narrative. This platform will be a repository of independent journalism, investigative reports, and documentaries that expose the truth about the current situation in Russia. The project’s core values are:

This documentary, “Memorial: The Fight for Truth,” aims to shed light on the organization’s legacy and the ongoing struggle for justice in Russia. The film delves into the history of Memorial, tracing its origins back to the 1980s, highlighting its pivotal role in documenting the atrocities committed during the Soviet era. It showcases the organization’s dedication to human rights, its unwavering commitment to truth, and its tireless efforts to expose the horrors of the past. The documentary also examines the Russian government’s crackdown on Memorial, detailing the legal battles, political pressure, and ultimately, the forced closure of the organization.

This has led to a crackdown on dissent, with authors facing censorship and the removal of their works. The crackdown on dissent has been particularly severe in the state-controlled media, where journalists and commentators are being silenced. This has created a climate of fear and self-censorship, where even those who are not directly targeted by the government are hesitant to express their views. The crackdown on dissent has also extended to the arts and culture, with artists and musicians being pressured to conform to the official narrative. This has led to a chilling effect on creativity and artistic expression, as artists are afraid to express their true thoughts and feelings.
