With Russias war on Ukraine, the iron curtain has once again descended over Europe. We have invited several Russians to ask them about what they think of the future.
Mr Pavel Andreev is an active member of human rights movement in Russia today and is also on the board of Memorial, the organization which received the Nobel Peace Prize last December.
This year he will come to the Kirkenes Conference to give his view on the developments in Russia.
Together with her in the panel we have invited the ediotor in chief of Novaya Gazeta Europe, Kirill Martynov. While the Russian version of the newspaper is shut down, the European news desk is still active. In 2021 the editor of Novaya Gazeta Russia, Dmitry Muratov, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Since then the working conditions for free media in Russia has become almost impossible to handle. All critical voices has been muted.
In the panel we will also meet Evgeny Goman who is a producer in the Norwegian company of art curators Pikene på Broen.
