Accents d'Europe takes you today to Russia.
A country that spans two continents, Europe and Asia, a border with Poland, another with North Korea.
This immense country, in which a diversity of peoples lives, is also one of the 5 permanent members of the UN Security Council.
He retains some influence in world affairs, but the Russians, what are their concerns?
Publicity
(Replay of October 6, 2020)
Our correspondent in
Moscow
for more than 7 years,
Étienne Bouche
, accompanies us throughout this program, and explains to us that the Russians are more willing to mobilize on very local subjects: when it comes to defending their living environment, they no longer want to leave the floor to politicians alone.
Paul Gogo
went to
Saint Petersburg
where more than forty associations have appeared in recent years to stand up to the decisions of local elected officials.
A figure of the opposition in the Kremlin, Alexeï Navalny has forged a reputation thanks to the fight against corruption, to social networks.
He is now interested in these local conflicts and advocates smart voting.
Explanations by
Paul Gogo.
The taboo of history
Russia has not taken stock of its very complicated twentieth century.
The most significant memorial initiatives come from civil society, or from literature.
Étienne Bouche
takes us to the
Krasnoyark
region
, in the heart of Siberia, where local activists dedicate their lives to the memory of the deportation.
Tchiki, chronicle of peripheral Russia
Tchiki
is a television series that made the talk this summer in Russia.
It tells the story of four friends living in prostitution in a dreary city in the
Caucasus
.
Four resolutely positive heroines despite the trials.
