a little somebody that's on the job. i find out about bailey story. info. my grand i've been reporting for a r d as a moscow correspondent for 5 years. everything changed. on february 24th 2022. the de russia invaded ukraine. the country i live in is waging war a war that must not be mentioned as such, and yet has consequences for every one. over a period of several months, i interviewed for people on how their lives changed in this historic year. and how this war is changing. russia for look at a country that is increasingly shutting itself off.

st. petersburg in february 2022. thousands take to the streets to protest against the war. ah. yeah, blah, he's in the whole of his if i was almost arrested 3 times, i think it was confusing tanny solution over the many people were angry about what was happening to me, but it's a lot of police were there. even though i knew there was a big police conway at this spot here, what's being him? just ain't the law grown now. hello. to daria hakan is a successful tech talker at just 18 years old. she's one of the few who are still protesting against putin's regime. she tells me that the police put pressure on her after the demos. what we're going to see them way was they came to my building with a search warrant and searched my apartment for 2 hours and overflowed. then they took me to the police station and put me in custody for 2 days. it by 12,

a way of the way for that it would be easier if we in russia could say, take to the streets to day every one of those years, the movie, what didn't didn't process that, but today has intimidated us for 20 years and he removed any possibility for us to influence policy, which was widely as if it all left. so it's very difficult, davis thoughtful, but the more oh boy than what the wood floors like. while we report from russia new laws are being passed almost every day. the word war has become taboo. independent media has closed down. thousands have been arrested at demonstrations throughout the country. and the strategy has clearly been successful. protests have stopped mike here in saint petersburg. nothing suggest to war here. almost nothing, dory. and i find these words in the city center, no, to war. in putin's russia writing, this could land you in prison. people outside russia need to understand that, says daria, give me a, was this because it's thought it's important for me to say that we exist,

that we are many, whether enough, despite everything and filtering of death for one wrong word or wrong. the word at sentence on social media, you can get 10 years in prison floor. it's difficult to say anything now you have enough, but i'm certain civil society will still find ways to make its opinions known. will she turn out to be right? with swaying, it opens the tv in postal to it because it is the list is false. phone keeps up with indigo shifter. palm alters de la didn't mother you thought linda 1000 isn't thought fun lately. half a walden edition, classroom them in who from honeymoon highs on the car. the, i knew the sheets and the eula makes moving. eigen and copa foot included, i know, i know it wasn't by mid march. hundreds of thousands of russians had fled abroad. not just from

moscow. constantino's nose is also thinking about leaving the country. that wasn't happening until recently. i lived in a relatively open country where a travel was possible. now, i'm suddenly living in an isolated country in that's traumatized as elliot on this day. it looked at him at the mania which ent revenue. ah, you see who beneath the fun of constantine is in his mid fifties and works in the i t industry. his wife ah sia on his throttle, is a translator. yes, and they now want to leave their country due to russia's war, but it isn't near, but it's a big decision not listed as casual. we feel something like this. if we stayed here, we would be silently supporting what the state is doing. i think now for example, by paying taxes that finance the war and the army. and we don't want to be

complicit in what's happening in russia right now. we so just think america was christmas chest racy, which so the couple have 2 children, n 2 cats. their son philip and their daughter, who prefers not to be on camera. they haven't yet decided where they will emigrate to germany. israel constantine is putting together all their documents in the hope that everything will work out. hello, a state, but to understand what's really happening in russia, you have to get out of moscow. for example, here in the south in the stab rapport region. many of the soldiers fighting in ukraine come from this region. in the plane we visit a farm with an amusement park. it's popular with families. and

rahman pon marie off is the boss. he's in his late thirties, a prudent supporter, just like the majority of russians. that's useless to upset us to put when a country gets into a difficult situation. people eat more and stockpile more. also, voices, episodes of bull shit. but rum on hopes for a good harvest this year. his cucumbers, tomatoes, and strawberries are vaccinated against bugs, not spray. he says his farm is organic. he hasn't noticed the western sanctions. he says he doesn't have any western machinery. the tractors are from belarus 2 of his employees are fighting his soldiers against ukraine. rahman tells us he's erected a large ze made of straw, a symbol of support for the special operation. but

just rules physical elsewhere. oh climb in favor of the special operation that our government is conducting. a beast new, rusty musical boost. yes, my neighbor installed a cannon on his property way, was cecilia, and pointed it at my house. they had at my family in a probably, well, why don't my leave and if all the neighbors said he wouldn't shoot, the cannon will do. i wouldn't like that situation. mean, out of his thoughts, venues, raymond believes the russian propaganda that ukraine is an imminent threat to russia. in june, i visit constantino's nurse known as costa and his family and moscow. again, they decided in 10 days, they will emigrate to israel. they've never been there before. national

coaching, i feel fear, adventure, panic, uncertainty, joy, a combination of all the emotions. our kids are much more nervous than we are, especially our older daughter. got on the bush. gentlemen. are you nervous? yes. can you bring acquaint? no, i'm excited. little 20 little boy. the 2 cats are also coming along. i wonder if it's really sunk in what this family is up against. so in need of coca cola, which if it's not at all how i wanted it to be fair enough, israel is a very difficult country. now it looks like it's inevitable this near a choice when you don't really have a choice that the liberal, fearful feel of a flood of civil blunders. they've gathered all the documents to prove that konstantin has jewish roots there. they will be able to get his railey passports

when chance navina watch. honestly, i would love to work and live in russia. if russia were an open, friendly country that was evolving a calm and humane country. if we had an influence on life in russia and we could have some kind of voice lumber, but that's not possible at all. it had to reason and a stunning no each other search and i knew more. hm. mm hm. what i notice again and again is resignation, and it's increasing, even among those who protest against the war at 1st. in st. petersburg, daria hakan and her boyfriend danielle, were suddenly threatened by strangers campbell, i'm the 1st. we were off work and woke up at 12 o'clock to knock on the door, so i went to the people. at 1st we thought it was the police. then i saw that the people was painted over with red paint. i opened the door to a huge pile of down on the next day,

daniel was going to work. he was swearing loudly and said come here quick. the door was doused with a green chemical and there were fliers addressed to me personally saying i was a finished nazi because i have a finish. last name. there were threats were close by just wait and another pile of dung at the door. this as traitor, and there was a black strip next to it. we think it's a morning with and people stick on portraits of the deceased. so it was also a threat cross. they filed a complaint, but the police didn't solve the case. daria won't let herself be so easily intimidated. she's planning the 1st anniversary event of a local opposition movement. she found it called my eoc. it criticizes those in power and aims to unite opposition forces. can the event take place without problems? ah, with

fine blank what a contrast there is fighting in ukraine and here there's a party in love. they are playing quick like written. all right, we're back with raymond, the farmer from stop repub. they're throwing a foam party at his small amusement park with the straw figures. it's one of russia's most important national holidays. j. b. i webber, but in russia day, let me know if a but i think a, it's all about patriotism. yeah. i see. yeah. for me, this holiday means that all russians unite to support each other, including when it comes to the special operation. those of us better. why not with blood sunday blind, my friends from germany, sometimes ask me if you can still live normally in russia. come on here,

you see that you can see in fact, the special operation ukraine seems quite far away, even in people's minds. oh, when, even though many soldiers and volunteers went there from this region. but here there's great support. don't just assemble. why not support our boys participating in the special operation? i found out every one. ah, i stop repose cemetery is just 40 minutes away.

russian soldiers who died in ukraine are buried here. we're not welcome with our camera. because talking to foreign media can cause problems for relatives as it in when i know that this here is just one small city of very many in this region of russia. so there are $40.00 to $50.00, grabs here, fish to level. most of them were paratroopers who died in ukraine doing this even comes into play and more are added every week.

what it is, a game, the kents, m oscar that will cut you know from in that vita it, clinicians type cuffed as in so name in math when some site formed as i'm gonna size is shmender. tullison says from indian, avoid of guy be of adding delicate in his opinion, mostly, hasn't the of it softly shall be the good was amount of to phone, phone of i'm kind of source of reserves, chests fun shots, concealment of mystic zealand. osland. i noticed while yet again, didn't cecile isn't it? we have another meeting with aria, today's the one year anniversary of her political organization in difficult times in feeling side, when daria and her team planned to talk about police violence. among other things, she warns us that the police themselves could disrupt the event. i wish to speak to you, please. no political events are happening in st. petersburg or if they are then only behind closed doors for them. because there's always a risk of going to jail or that we've been waiting for an occasion to meet like

today. because it's meetings like this that are really lacking right now. and the activism of the opposition of sure from using even if we help the police don't show up. no it. is that a real risk? oh person as it happened the last 2 times with us? yes. once i was detained before the meeting, so i couldn't get there. this was the 2nd time they waited at the exit for ages and then they didn't detain anyone or enter the building yesterday and this time. so yeah, the fact that i'm here is probably a good sign pretty so dari his goal is to draw attention to local political grievances. but hardly anyone turns up um visit for me. so for me, this somehow represents the opposition in russia. it's supposed to be starting now, but nobody's here. half of the people here are journalists, despite the fact that daria has more than 150000 followers on tick tock. people are

probably just too afraid, understandably so. since under putin, the russians have learned that it's better not to interfere in politics. daria is one of the few who takes risks and does it anyway. it's the day of departure for constantine's family. it's very hectic. but the main thing is that the documents are packed finally, gosh, oak, i'm panicking. that's in shock. there's a complete lack of emotion. terrific. i'm in the zone. quick, quick, quick, tucker. it's a pity. we've lost some treasured possession, but it's too late for that. now. if i'm in our lives or change any and always have and you shouldn't dwell in on the past of us,

one of them in israel, they plan to stay with friends at 1st. other than that, they have no further plans yet. i son, a daughter, a father, a mother, and the 2 cats. off to start a new life. in moscow, the warren ukraine remains invisible in europe's largest city. you can choose to completely ignore europe's most serious war in decades. as muslims, moscow and summer is lively as always find well kind of it. and i don't notice any changes at all. guns and, and even chains like this. starbucks have been long replaced by a russian owner. even the logos, the same starbucks has just been changed to stars. coffee. russia imitates western

brands. by summer, the economic consequences are hardly noticeable. although over a 1000 western companies have left the country and russia is threatened with a severe recession. it's becoming increasingly difficult for us foreign journalists to do our jobs in fall. there's some news that changes things a lot in that will cut enough as well to listen to fucks and who suffer in burnett's comes mccoy. this didn't baldwin on the host. i have to get in there. awesome cut. you made fools this and starts to be there to the camera, to want to cut this glucose with an unbelievable people. she forgot zoom, gleiss came crazy. didn't put in at any time. we'll be in the home and garden it. it's thought i won't a 1000 as of his own yest, i have. i've spoken to puzzled about my medicine islet, a slice of philosophy languish, london, not mine to convince you. back on lucky on you hundreds

of thousands fled russia before the mobilization. and the little band must come. and i'm here in moscow at the end of october and the city has changed completely clear to scott, you don't see it at 1st glance in, but you feel it very strongly stunned. people are in a state of stress lesson many left the country after the announcement of the mobilization here in russia. yes. oh, yeah. and you can feel it in the building. i live in as well as a people have been leaving hostile. lots of apartments are empty, pita one, hosting and install bravo. raman is out planting lavender. this is not ship missed. this is going to be a cultural area with flowers. good food. this with it though it so when a couple of a bit of what the whole area will be a sort of a photo zone for a selfie zone. mr. submit that on the we're building our own pulse here. so you

don't have to go to france when he is as well for i'm so bob morse known as this was the roots were, but i launched on romans farm preparations for the next season or underway. the pumpkin has to go. the land is being cleared. and the plants for next year are growing in the greenhouse and the year before last was official. the med analysis though less should that i don't see any changes in the moral sphere either. you can get more, but it's quite possible that patriotism is increasing. susie's search dish lynn is that see because of the partial mobilization, which called up more people bump bowman. my visits relatives are starting to support their boys more bush with joshua listened to think of them a woman in ramen's case. the conviction that his russia is doing the right thing has continued to grow. he expresses no criticism of putin.

on the contrary, raymond is convinced that everything is going right. those can little, oh yes ma'am, but just so the russian people obviously support the leaders of this country from lucy. but she, because they are the professionals. so aneice, beside least they know better than the common people. a lot of, and they're doing it right. he ju, bridle, e, we, if we see that it's being done right. when 90 percent of the time, everything is done right. but simple do, it's of surprising. will russia when, when you're of course finished it in the beginning it seemed like it was going to happen fast as always, that of would use them. that's no longer the case cost for them. but i still think it's unlikely to take 10 years. i say could buy ramana and i have talked a lot it seems to me that his view has become more entrenched

even by september, russian authorities were already estimating that 6000 soldiers had been killed. observers believe the number is significantly higher sounds m elson was one of our 1st visit here to the cemetery in stockbroker. there was only this row of soldiers graves my head of now we returned and a new road has been added. and the war is causing more and more problems for russia. if it was land static ish to good book. and so kim is store genetics plus the orange. we have a shady bottoms was osha for original printed on his own totals. didn't, wasn't the i'm go for was a shock. our treatment comes color, filthy status from the lucky thing to tough it out myself in at m b s and takes time, but sees voiding. cough back on to almost fun, back out here that i sent on filthy, put sent. it will cut ignition in

a gate in hostile towards there still 12 woodlands. they had spoken outcast sun in desert, ocarina and i look at o. button stud has long haven't, i'm will not be uncommon from clayton. this shadow dobrinka fy at we are in jerusalem. ah, we've come to visit constantine at his new hall. elemental. he's hardly changed. and the buildings in jerusalem don't seem very different from those in russia. was emigration. the right decision is decent. i don't feel lonely here. it's like a piece of russia moved here with me. people i was in contact with in russia. have also moved here. got to me a dom up. chelsea ah sia continues to work from home as

a translator for her old company. konstantin doesn't have a job yet and he hasn't really started looking for one. the i t industry is booming in israel, but constantine is not finding it easy to navigate such a different job market and that with in the at the muscle sco amena and the person of mental constantine's thoughts are often with his parents at home and st. petersburg, he calls them almost every day, but he believes the decision to emigrate was the right one. okay, let's how do you feel about constantine and his family being here now, what is the chance of course we missed cost. yeah. we miss our grandson, but i already told him in the summer it was no other way and especially now when

mobilization is likely to start again, it's just dangerous to be hands on deck the car. do you feel about the situation in russia? shortsale shop. got a she to the situation is very upsetting, sad, disturbing. there's no peace with his own. butler constantine has far fewer of these feelings here in israel. we have a spoke with you, but a little, i guess i'm calmer, he is in a good. at times i would lie in bed in russia and hear footsteps on the stairs and think, what's that? no, they didn't come for me. you know, police came yet. but judging by everything i saw on social media, it was very dangerous. they're not to love it, but that was just my health and i was scared and beloved boston her. now of course things are calmer in that respect. what she chest diagnosed with and with machine

yes, buckling oscio has invited other russian exiles to a living room concert to day artistic pursuits are her real passion. they give her strength. logitech is it the, we're learning to live here, and we're learning to enjoy everything we experience blenny, of which he recommend you enjoying it is an important part of our life right now. i'm still good because will always managed to be sad anyway. good. what, you know, florida we have many difficulties and obstacles to overcome with the couple. see their future here in israel for now until things change in russia. konstantin, however, hopes to be able to visit his parents soon.

it's winter in saint petersburg, whom we haven't heard from dorian, the young, political activist from the city for a long time. she ignores messages and calls. the lights are off in her apartment. she rarely posts political content on her channels. did the police intimidate her? i tried to call her one last time i saw the little king dois about so the call went through, but she declined it. that's a shame that saw them. i suspect now in winter the pressure has become too much for her as well. what will i take with me from this year in russia? huge upheaval, political unrest, economic chaos, like some were expecting, have so far, failed to materialize. the last vestiges of freedom for dissenters are no longer

there. what remains is the realization that any one who is not in support had better keep quiet in the new russia because the country is at war ah, every day counts for us and for our planet. global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities greener? how can we protect animals and their habitats? what to do with all our waste? we can make a difference by choosing reforestation over deforestation recycling over disposable

smart new solutions over steam set in our ways are really unique. and we know that, that uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive global ideas. the environmental series in global 3000 on d, w, and online. oh, this week on world stories. a man talks about prison and torture, any ron harry, coastal protection in wales. we.
