Konstantin Samoilov - Documenting Russia’s descent into Authoritarianism from the Inside and Outside

Russia seems condemned to repeat the mistakes of history, rather than  learning from them, as shown by Putin’s mass mobilisation of Russian  males into the armed forces, and the shock and panic it prompted earlier  this year in Russia. Konstantin Samoilov is a well-known YouTuber whose  channel ‘Inside Russia’ comments insightfully on Russia’s descent into  authoritarianism over the last few years. But now, like many others,  he’s outside Russia, with no idea of when he can return there.
