Project Description
The project will explore the works of writers and journalists who conformed to the demands of Soviet ideology and Putin’s nationalist agenda, alongside those who opposed these regimes, often at great personal risk to their safety and lives. Through this analysis, the project aims to shed light on the complex dynamics between individual autonomy and coercive state power.
