What news from Russia?

While censorship of the media in Russia is now almost total, some Russian journalists circumvent threats and blockings. They continue to provide information to counter state propaganda and fuel public debate in wartime. Despite the danger, they are producing knowledge about what is happening in Russia and helping to deconstruct the discourse of ruling elites. This round-table discussion with Russian journalists will provide an opportunity to discuss the political challenges of their work in the context of war.
