Russia and Freedom. How to Be Born in the Wrong Country

A discussion about the gradual erosion of freedoms in Russia and how contemporary Russians seek ways to circumvent these restrictions.

The programme covers these topics: how Russia gradually lost freedom, digital authoritarianism (censorship, surveillance and repression), technology as both ally and tool of control, VPN, Tor, encryption, cryptocurrencies and anonymity, what technology can achieve - and where it reaches its limits, how to preserve personal, civic and digital freedom, and what to watch out for so that similar developments do not affect us.
