Anti-war dissent: Russian repression of civil and political rights
Welcome to a presentation of the new OVD-Info report and discussion about the state of political repression in Russia today.
Main content
The Russian state continues to suppress political dissent through new restrictive laws and repressive measures targeting activists, journalists, and ordinary citizens.
The report “Repression in Russia 2024” by OVD-Info, the independent human rights defence and media group, provides an overview of the human rights situation in Russia. It documents politically motivated persecutions, restrictions on freedom of expression, and a broader crackdown on civil society.
What do these developments tell us about the state of political repression in Russia today? How do they compare to previous years, and what might they signal for the future?
Katerina Golenkova and Sasha Pozhivotko of OVD-Info will present the report and talk about the trends and numbers, followed by a conversation with Kyle Marquardt (UiB) and Ingunn Lunde (UiB).
