Listen to the story of Ilja Kursov, a brave political activist for the liberal Партия Яблоко (Yabloko Party) 🍎, a member of the democratic movement Движение Весна / Vesna Movement 🌸, and a long-time supporter of Young World Federalists 🖐️, based in Barnaul (Siberia).

His recent arrest is just one of thousands of attempts by the Russian #dictatorship to silence the voices of citizens protesting for peace and for their constitutional and human rights.
