Anti-war Activism in Russia and Among Russian Citizens Abroad

– Strategies, Challenges and Potentialities | CBEES Roundtable is aimed to discuss different aspects of civic activism against the Russia’s war on Ukraine.

The event is conducted both on-site and online - see more details below.

The roundtable brings together researchers and representatives of several networks and digitalised platforms and organisations created by Russian emigrants outside of Russia. It opens a possibility for discussing strategies of protest against the war, anti-war solidarities and challenges that the activists are meeting. For example, who is participating in anti-war activism? What tactics were most successful? What are the main problems?

The aim is centred around different aspects of anti-war activities, particularly the feminist anti-war resistance and civic activism in the Northern Caucasus.
