In Russia, it’s been dangerous for ordinary people to speak up against Vladimir Putin’s regime for years, but new censorship laws introduced since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 have made it tougher than ever.

Despite huge risks, Russian filmmakers have been filming the impact of the war inside their country. Whilst many thousands have fled, those that stayed are having to choose - to oppose, support or stay silent about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

I lived in different countries and found that people everywhere basically want the same thing: wellbeing for their families, opportunities for their children - this is a ground for trade and cooperation, not war. It is a shame that people are also gullible and can be easily tricked into hating "others". I dread to think about immediate future here in my country, but maybe after capitulation, after whatever bloodshed will follow we'll finally have a chance to rebuild. And this time it will be just a normal country, no delusions of grandeur, no arrogance, no hushing up crimes of the past...

@JustAnotherNerd I agree. Maybe one day our countries can even be friends again. But yeah all people are basically the same. We all want the same. It is sad so many people blindly support imperialism and the hate propaganda that comes with it. I think a major different in recent decades, and it happend with alot of struggles, is that (with the exception of Germany which was forced into a honest view of its history) that most countries try to get away from glorifying the past and instead, I say this as a history teacher, try to see history as a human thing. Aka, there are good and bad parts. We should stop glorifying the last and I hope that Russia can one day start living with us I the 21st century as it feels that some many of your countrymen are stuck in the past. It seems Putin wants to drag us back into the USSR times. Something we try to get away from as fast as possible (just like the Baltics did)

Talking about sovereignty is moot until a BORDOR is established and there are areas in Donbas where a MAJORITY of the population speaks Russian as the primary language. These areas constitute 10-15% of the Ukraine but these 'Russian' Ukrainians want to be a part of Russia So there's that and there's the Crimea that Putin won't give back but the bottom line is the 85-90% of Ukraine doesn't want to be a part of Russia. Against that backdrop the ONLY way this war will end is when both sides compromise on a NEW border. Ukraine should give up the areas where the people want to be 'Russian'. In fact, they should be glad to get rid of them and it won't be easy but it's the only way Putin can save face and Ukraine should forget about forcing Russia to pay 'war reparations". That ain't gonna happen (ever) but there are other ways Ukraine can be compensated that Russia would find more agreeable. WE western democracies will rebuild Ukraine and Russia will agree to 'lease' the Crimea from Ukraine for 30 yrs at 10 billion/year. In fact, they already agreed and this is what the proposed before they invaded. So the framework for an agreement to end the war already exists that would allow Putin to save face and in exchange for a new border Ukraine will gain a it's freedom. So let me know when the deal is done with a new border . Then we can talk about sovereignty

@netflixandchinchilla 11 ай бұрын

@@LuvThatDirtyWater All of what you said is true, but Ukraine tried that already. They ceded control of Crimea to Russia in 2014. It wasn't enough. They came back for more. Would it be enough this time if they gave up the Donbas? Or would they come back for more in another 10 years? And more in 10 years after that? At some point they have to put their foot down and say "this is our home."

I can't agree more. This was one of the best short docos this year. As a foreigner living in Russia with my Russian wife, it's not easy to see what's going on here because like most majority of Russian people here, she supports Putin but against the war not because of Ukraine, but the lost of young Russian lives. When I showed her about the victims in Ukraine with the suffering from the women and children. She just ignored them and told me not to fall into any of the Western, American and Ukrainian propaganda. Many Russian people believe Ukraine is never has its own rights to be an independent state. They believe Ukrainians betrayed them since very long time ago, so this war is "justified". 😢 It's really sad to see this. I really hope peace will come very soon and praying for the Russian people who really understand what is right and what's wrong. I truly believe that not all Russian people are bad and brainwashed.

This is a powerful film. Heartbreaking to see how these ordinary citizens are desperately trying to stand up to the might of the Russian State. The bravery of these individuals is inspiring. Even the smallest acts of "defiance" are treated harshly. It's a Kafkaesque nightmare. To see a father and daughter who so obviously love each other but be torn apart by opposing views. What comes across is the generational divide where older folks who appear in the film seem to be under the spell of Russian propaganda while the younger citizens appear more savvy. This might be partially due to the social classes involved with younger educated activists featured and older working class folks being interviewed. What a nightmare to find yourself in AND IT COULD EASILY HAPPEN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. WE ARE ALL JUST ONE OR TWO ELECTION CYCLES AWAY FROMA SIMILAR FATE IF WE DON'T TAKE HEED.

They , the Human Rights fighters , in Russia are often totally ignorant of crimes committed by feudal colonialist capitalists for over three hundred years , and then after 1780's by capitalists up to 1890's and imperialists after 1898 the imperialists making WWI and WWII , just the two wars lilled unprecedented over 100 millions , plus Genocides over 150 millions since Napoleonic Wars and US Civile War , South American wars to enforce Monroe Doctrine etc.... ??? They conviniently forget about Chineese long bloody revolution , the Korean War , Vietnam , and since then all imperialist colonialist wars , they forget colonialism is slavery system maintained by imperialists to pillage The World from resources or drop prices for slave countries to empire of dollar financial powers ! Now they start to ruine Russian Federation and China , two strong allies creating Shanghai Pact plus , BRICS plus and OPEC plus countries plus others over 6 billions getting to ally with China & Russia new world economic order respecting national sovereinty , UN Charter and Human Rights , all neglected by The West since 1949 -51 ! The over 100 Millions killed every ten years today , you can add numbers ? In France, since 40 years , having oly 55 million populations on average , alone over 250 000 per year dead from bad food and bad medicines , 370 000 killed by mass unemployment suicides and bad working conditions every ten years , 1 550 000 per ten years from cigarettes , 1 260 000 dead per ten years from gasoline and Gasoil or fuel burnings , instead of Ethanol used since over 50 years in Brasil , over 7 800 000 killed from bad health and poverty and dirty conditions or immigrants' or homeless etc.... That is over 1.675 Million per year dead X 8 000 / 55 gives over 243 Million person dead per year or more from poorer conditions in the world ! Unknown to British or The West media listeners either ! The imperialist financial system is Genocidal period !

The Western leaders also share big part of the responsibility. Many intelligent russians warned them that a fascist regime is brewing in Russia as far back as 15 years ago. Instead of imposing sanctions and openly declaring Putin and his government as criminals they continued the trade and diplomatic relations ignoring the takeover of Crimea, ignoring the inciting of the conflict in the East Ukraine. They ignored as Putin stifled and eliminated all free speech and independent mass media building the worst propaganda machine of the 21 century, comparable only to other dicatatorships like North Korea, China or Iran.

The main problem with that is politics. If Putin was to be removed like that or assasinated the next Putin would rise and it would be much worse. Putin needs to be removed by his own people in a political way. Only then it can bring peace and calm in all this madness. Don't forget that this is a political game that Putin started and it can't be stopped untill there is a winner. Putin has started a game he can NEVER win. Putin is becoming the next Hitler and you know how that ended. Russian people need to rise up before it is to late. And when they do, they will have the world as backup. Nobody wanted this war, it is just a political powergame and the normal workingclass people are dying for it.

that's the tragic irony of his propaganda. he is a master gaslighter, basically calling Ukraine all of the things he is (calling Ukranians fascists when he indeed is facist) and saying Ukraine is doing all the things he actually did (he says Ukraine attacked Russia first which there is no proof of and that Ukrainians are Nazis which there is also no proof of). actually he started long before this war when he took Crimea in 2014 which got less media coverage. his regime controls the media so the Russian narrative is hammered into the Russian civilian's heads. of course there are people in Russia that are aware of the false propaganda their government is spewing, who knows how many since so many are scared to speak out. pray that russians can learn the truth of what is happening in and to Ukraine by their government and for this war to end with Ukraine getting it's land rightfully returned to them.

"However they're in power nowhere." is exactly the kind of pessimistic, cynical, 'non-political' narratives Putin & other authoritarian leaders want you to believe. YOU have the power to change your countries leadership & direction - run for election, join campaigns/rallies, start discussions, vote at a bare minimum. Thinking all rulers are the same is an extremely dangerous false narrative that encourages disillusionment with politics and disengagement, which allows freedoms to be chipped away exactly as it has in Russia. Do NOT allow yourself to become depressed simply because you're somewhat dissatisfied with politics, it's all the more reason to become engaged!

But these words of his are worth citing: "“Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”
