S2E17 - Uliana from Russia

This episode is about Russia, one of the two countries that have dominated the news over the past year. But instead of talking about the country from a geopolitical point of view, this episode intends to discuss the human side. In my perception, the struggles faced by ordinary Russians (which by no means compares to the Ukranian suffering) is a rather underexposed theme that deserves more attention.

That is why I invited Uliana, a Russian journalist from Moscow. She tells how the war has impacted the lives of her and her family and friends, and stresses how important it is to not reduce people to their nationality. Furthermore, she gives a unique insight in the isolated fortress that Russia today is.
