Description
Today, even the smallest protest in Russia might lead to years in prison. We’ve hardly seen such absurd verdicts since Stalin’s Great Terror in the 30s.
This is the story of Sasha Skochilenko — St. Petersburg artist and musician. Sasha did a tiny anti-war performance in a local supermarket. But after it was reported, the police organized a whole operation to capture Skochilenko. Together with Sasha’s girlfriend Sonya we are telling her story.
