00:00:00is itself
00:00:03and going out into such a cage, and
00:00:06where the ceiling and walls are completely, well, in bars, that is,
00:00:10you just walk around as if in some kind of this,
00:00:13like in an aviary, an aviary, you
00:00:16walk around, just walk in circles, but I ran every day
00:00:20to still get some physical activity,
00:00:22every day when I went out, I just ran a few
00:00:26laps, about 15, 20 minutes, I spent on...
00:00:30We also tried to squat and pull up, I don't know,
00:00:34we performed some elements like that, you could kick
00:00:38a ball, well, like a ball, it wasn't a ball, it was made from some kind of
00:00:42sack, they stuffed sheets or something in it
00:00:45and kicked it, well, that was at least some entertainment. We had one
00:00:49girl from our cell, my friend, who I flew to
00:00:52Moscow for, she wrote a song, and
00:00:56then we sang it every day, just from the windows, well, when you go out for a walk.
00:01:00In principle, for all prisoners, it's entertainment, because you have nothing,
00:01:03you have this window with bars, it's like a TV, that
00:01:07is, someone went out for a walk, that's it, everyone runs to the window to see what
00:01:10will happen, and that's how we go out and
00:01:13entertain the public, so to speak, because there are these
00:01:17buildings all around, everyone is watching, well, there are men's cells, women's,
00:01:21it doesn't matter, we sang a song, they applauded us, clapped,
00:01:25asked for more, I remember, we go out into the cage, into
00:01:28this aviary.
00:01:31We shout "Hello Olympic!" and start singing this
00:01:34song, and simply everyone from the cells starts
00:01:38looking out the windows, then they applauded, everyone really
00:01:41liked it, and I think thanks to this song, well,
00:01:45you're talking about our cell, that it became somewhat
00:01:48famous, I think because of it, there
00:01:52were probably some very strong positive emotions when everyone goes out
00:01:56for a walk and starts singing a song and the whole place shakes.
00:02:02The guards don't really understand what to do, because they're probably not
00:02:06used to such a contingent at Sakharovo,
00:02:09because there were a lot of very young guys there
00:02:12mostly.
00:02:14I don't know, it felt very warm from
00:02:17the feeling of cohesion inside, that is, all
00:02:21the cells passed what was needed to each other, everyone
00:02:24wrote down every cell, who was sitting where, so that when
00:02:28calling, they could pass on to someone where their relative was sitting, and
00:02:32that was very supportive, it was very powerful.
00:02:35The overseers, I don't know what to call them correctly, they call themselves managers for some reason,
00:02:38who bring around this
00:02:42food, all of this, when there are
00:02:45like four teams that rotate,
00:02:49work around the clock, and each time, that is, a new one came in for the
00:02:52first four days, each time you had to establish some kind of
00:02:56contact with them, so one of these new crews... I remember very
00:03:00well how the door opened with a terrible
00:03:04bang, he started banging on the door
00:03:06and just with incredible rage
00:03:10in his voice, and we were sleeping, it was 7 in the morning, they were doing a
00:03:13shift change, he started
00:03:16yelling at us, why we didn't wake
00:03:20up after the knock, his voice left such a strong impression, I
00:03:24felt so scared, I really wanted to throw a pillow at him, that was probably
00:03:28the most vivid thing at that moment...
00:03:32Second detail, our cell was on the first
00:03:35floor, overall, our window was visible from
00:03:39this grate, when the guys went out to
00:03:42shout, specifically into this cage
00:03:45outside, they chanted different slogans
00:03:48or sang songs, we wanted to show them that we
00:03:52heard them, we cut out the words "well done" from
00:03:55paper sheets and glued them in reverse
00:03:59order onto the from the other side,
00:04:03and at night, when the light
00:04:07went out, a lantern lit up
00:04:11outside, these words reflected on our wall,
00:04:14right above my bed,
00:04:17and this is also a very important detail, incredibly
00:04:20romantic and beautiful. I experienced a
00:04:23catharsis when the prisoners started singing
00:04:27the anthem of Russia. I was truly surprised by my feelings, because
00:04:30it was a bit of a strange moment, because
00:04:34I, well, I already have a slightly different attitude towards this melody
00:04:38because of propaganda and all this flora,
00:04:41but when the prisoners started singing it, I really
00:04:45had something very strange inside, and it was very indicative for these
00:04:48men who work there, because they generally saw,
00:04:51well, there were many people with higher education, obviously,
00:04:55they saw some of their own children,
00:04:59this singing of the Russian anthem,
00:05:01the very same one, which is that,
00:05:05that very anthem, it sounded completely different, I was surprised, it was somehow,
00:05:09"Glorious country, we are proud of you," that line was generally wonderful, because
00:05:12as, well, obviously in the cage,
00:05:16before that, a fire alarm went off,
00:05:20so, I started banging on the door and telling the guards that they should
00:05:23generally evacuate us, and they told me: "Don't worry, this is a fire, it's like a
00:05:27training alarm." I said, "Well, that's the whole point of a training alarm, will you be able
00:05:31to evacuate all of us?" Like, without that, it's useless. He was like, "No, no,
00:05:34relax." Well, and you relax, because
00:05:38you have no options, you're still like, if...
00:05:42you burn alive in a cell, you might as well be relaxed, I don't know, anyway, there are no options
00:05:46anyway, so you have to relax, but it was
00:05:49just an unpleasant moment that I remember, that at that
00:05:53moment it hit me, I
00:05:55looked at it all from the outside again, I saw that we were several
00:05:59hundred activists who did nothing wrong, and yet we
00:06:03are sitting locked up in these cells, in case
00:06:06of anything, God forbid a fire, counting on these
00:06:10village men, even if... they're not bad people, yes, but
00:06:13counting on them to at that moment run down the
00:06:16corridors, pick up keys, open these giant metal doors
00:06:20and save someone besides themselves
00:06:22is not an option. At that moment I realized that in case of anything, everything
00:06:26would be bad, it's always, always, you fight for any
00:06:29of your rights there, it's just, well, such a given,
00:06:33you have no rights, you want something, you need to
00:06:36fight for it, and many girls, yes,
00:06:39they are probably good, I don't know, they were very
00:06:43grateful to the convoy that helped them with this, I couldn't do
00:06:46it, I had some position that this is my right,
00:06:50it is not realized, and it terribly annoys me, when
00:06:54it was realized, it seemed to me, this is like something that should
00:06:57be, I don't want to say thank you for this, I shouldn't say
00:07:01thank you for this, I generally couldn't thank the convoy for anything,
00:07:04I couldn't
00:07:05at all.
00:07:09Who are these convoy guys mostly from? I understand
00:07:13not from Moscow region, well, that is
00:07:15from some near or far
00:07:17Moscow region.
00:07:20Just ordinary people with ordinary salaries, mortgages, children, generally
00:07:23mortgages, children – this is a very common story, such a
00:07:27portrait of these law enforcement
00:07:30agencies. Well, they even say
00:07:33sometimes, "We understand, we agree, but you see, we have children,
00:07:36a mortgage." Well, it's clear, well, that
00:07:40is, these are ordinary people, that's the
00:07:44problem, well, the banality of evil, I don't want to speak grandiosely now, but that's
00:07:48what it's about, yes, evil is banal –
00:07:51these are ordinary people, they go to ordinary stores, they have ordinary children, yes, or
00:07:55extraordinary children, they have a mortgage, an apartment in a new building in
00:07:59the Moscow region, everything is fine with them, they throw away your pills, well,
00:08:03this is what doesn't fit in my head, they just, well, take them, throw them away,
00:08:07some huge cultural gap, yes
00:08:10absolutely, which is unclear how, how
00:08:12to solve. And there was some
00:08:16duty officer sitting there, on the first floor at a desk,
00:08:19a half-asleep old man, suddenly he saw me, stood up, came over and
00:08:23said: "You are probably my age,
00:08:26right?"
00:08:29"You can probably tell me, how did
00:08:32we just screw up the Soviet
00:08:35Union so badly? And now Russia
00:08:38too." I told him,
00:08:43"Well, look around you, you are in the Soviet Union
00:08:47completely, look around you, do you see
00:08:50any difference?"
00:08:53The new demagogue left, by the way,
00:08:57after these events,
00:09:00and my boyfriend left me, as
00:09:03funny as it may be, the fact
00:09:07is that my friends, when they found out what
00:09:09happened, organized a large
00:09:12support group, started looking for some package for me, well, but all
00:09:16the information, I had one moment, one opportunity to write
00:09:20where I was and what was happening to me, and I wrote to my boyfriend, of course.
00:09:23Then, when we were given a phone to call
00:09:27relatives, of course, I dial his number and realize that he is completely unaware of what
00:09:30is happening, while the entire
00:09:33rescue team is dealing with my package, completely different people.
00:09:37When I already got out of Sakharovo,
00:09:40he knew when I would... I'm walking,
00:09:43well,
00:09:47I wasn't expecting him
00:09:50to stand with a banner by the doors of Sakharovo and wait for me, but I wanted some kind of "everything is fine," you don't have to agree with my point of
00:09:54view, just tell me that everything is fine.
00:09:56And when we talked the next morning, I
00:10:00got out late at night, at one
00:10:04in the morning, I still had to get there, never mind, and in the morning, when we
00:10:08talked,
00:10:10I asked, "Why didn't you call? You knew when I was
00:10:13getting out." Uh, a large
00:10:17stream of indignation fell on me, about
00:10:20"I'm not going to be your support group, and what
00:10:24kind of star is this? Why should you be given so much
00:10:27attention, you went there, you sat there for four days, sat,
00:10:31got out, left, that's it, why so much
00:10:34attention to you, you have enough, well, like your
00:10:38friends, why are you demanding this attention from me too?"
00:10:41And I said, "Well, I'm sorry, maybe
00:10:45something also happened to you, tell me, share your experiences
00:10:49with me, I will support you, sorry that I pulled the blanket
00:10:52over myself," to which I was told, "No,
00:10:56sit with your blanket yourself." The first desire that
00:10:59I had after I got out was to just close myself off from the rest
00:11:02of the world, yes, like, just change all my numbers
00:11:06and so on, because this
00:11:08feeling
00:11:10of some kind,
00:11:13I don't even
00:11:15know, not even fear, but some
00:11:19kind of suppression, such a wild
00:11:21suppression, a terrible kind of...
00:11:25some kind of wrongness, some kind of wrongness of
00:11:29this situation, it was some kind of feeling,
00:11:32you understand, something absolutely wrong happened in life,
00:11:36yes, like, and you just sit there and think about how to get out of this
00:11:39trauma, who can even
00:11:42help you, and what you need to do in this situation and how you
00:11:46need to change yourself to somehow not experience this
00:11:50again, because I'll say this, that it's hard
00:11:54to recover from it, hard.
00:11:57On the first day when I got out of
00:12:00Sakharovo, well, I first slept, then
00:12:03went out into the city and caught myself
00:12:06thinking that I was just scared to walk, I
00:12:09was walking and everything was shaking, that is, I had become so unaccustomed to
00:12:13any kind of society, to sounds, to cars, to
00:12:17the big city, that I was walking, looking, and when
00:12:20I saw police in the
00:12:24subway... I almost lost it myself, I was so
00:12:28scared, and it seemed to me that they would come up to me
00:12:31again and put me somewhere, I'm not kidding right now,
00:12:35I thought overall it kind of psychologically
00:12:39passed by me, although I am
00:12:41an emotional person, but I never cried in prison, nothing
00:12:45like that happened, I thought, well, we sat, we left,
00:12:49okay, it turned out no, that is, I even had dreams
00:12:52that I was there, well, for about a week, two, that
00:12:55is, subconsciously it's so deeply
00:12:59ingrained in you that you walk and you're just
00:13:03scared, you're triggered, I remember, I'm riding the subway on an escalator,
00:13:06on an escalator, and in front of me stands a guy, he has
00:13:10on the back of his jacket a kind of ruled
00:13:13grid, well, like black and white in the form of a chessboard, my
00:13:17trigger goes off, like we played chess with toilet paper in
00:13:21Sakharovo, that is, we made different colored paper, I just...
00:13:24I see us taking this paper,
00:13:27molding it like this, sitting like this, and I'm like, Yul, you, you
00:13:31what, calm down, I walk on, police, it's
00:13:35very scary, actually, when I see alarms on the street or
00:13:38cars passing by, or police vans in the center are also
00:13:42standing somewhere, I walk past like that, I'm always in a mask in the subway,
00:13:45always wearing gloves, just in case, if they approach
00:13:48me, it was very scary, now it's
00:13:51calmer, now it's somehow normal, but then...
00:13:56I was shocked that something like this could generally, well, affect the
00:14:00psyche so strongly, when
00:14:03after Sakharovo I went to my psychotherapist, she told me: "Listen, you
00:14:06went through some very powerful therapy, you really changed." I didn't
00:14:09feel it at all, because indeed,
00:14:13when you come out, the world changes a little, it
00:14:15shifts relative to you, for those who don't have
00:14:19such an experience, I just started to understand how
00:14:23it all works from the inside. I started to understand that, for example,
00:14:26police officers are not werewolves in
00:14:30uniform, as some say, these are also just people,
00:14:33yes, they are on the other side of the barricades, some are not, I
00:14:37had very interesting conversations with police officers
00:14:41there, but it's some kind of feeling that
00:14:44what I'm doing is not in vain. The main,
00:14:47probably the only emotion I had in the end
00:14:50was how cool people are, that is, whoever I met,
00:14:54what? The police station where I spent almost a day from the moment
00:14:58of detention until the court, what in the police van on
00:15:01the way to court, where we also drove for a long time, what in the police van
00:15:05on the court grounds, what in the police van from court to
00:15:08the special detention center, what in the distribution room of the special detention center, what in
00:15:11my cell, wherever I ended up, these were all different people, but they were all
00:15:15wonderful, that is, everywhere a common language was found just
00:15:19from half a word, everyone was absolutely
00:15:21their own, intelligent, educated.
00:15:25It was really interesting to talk to everyone about something.
00:15:29This was the main emotion, what wonderful people, this
00:15:32was my main emotion when I came out, I thought, we are cool, that
00:15:35is, if you pick four random people from a rally,
00:15:39you can have a great week with them in one cell,
00:15:43I don't wish this experience on anyone, I don't,
00:15:46no, it's not needed in life, you understand, but unfortunately
00:15:49it exists in our life.
00:16:52What made young people become
00:16:54punks half a century ago? Punk is loud, rebellious,
00:16:57audacious, a product of its time and, above all,
00:17:01a protest, but is this protest still alive today? We dive into
00:17:04the world of mohawks, torn jeans, where they are not afraid to go.
00:17:35against the rules. Before it's too late, what's left.
00:18:37today, but still, to our credit, we did not
00:18:40call it special. No mortar,
00:18:43no mortar, we already have three seriously wounded, and
00:18:47Dzhokhar after his death dreamed,
00:18:50and he said, "I am not dead, I am alive," and Maskhadov
00:18:53and Lebed, interrupting negotiations, roared,
00:18:56"Stop, stop the fire!"
00:19:00Then Boris Abramovich returned and said:
00:19:04"That's it." They asked, "What's that?"
00:19:37Damn,
00:19:45if something happens to me, there will be a scandal not only in
00:19:48Moscow, but all over the world. They
00:19:51killed my father, I can't just
00:19:54stay silent.
00:19:58I had no ambitions to become a public figure,
00:20:02an activist or anything of that sort. To imagine that my
00:20:05life would be like this - no.
00:20:07Excluded.
00:20:10Do you have solid evidence that Putin directly
00:20:14ordered this, because what you said is
00:20:17the most direct accusation against a Russian leader in all
00:20:21history.
00:20:26What you managed to do here is absolutely incredible. I mean
00:20:29the foundation you created here in Germany, the Boris
00:20:33Nemtsov Foundation.
00:20:37All. Graduates, my great inspiration and my
00:20:40motivation to do what I have been doing for 8
00:20:42years.
00:20:45I always set a new goal for myself and try to achieve it, that
00:20:48is my life.
00:20:56Frontex maritime police, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency,
00:21:00is searching for refugees trying to
00:21:04cross from Turkey to Greece. At the same time, in Indonesia it is already
00:21:08early morning. Among the people at morning prayer are
00:21:11Afghans who fled to this country. They thought
00:21:14that in the largest Muslim country they would finally be
00:21:18safe, but this is completely not the case, a typical
00:21:21day in the life of
00:21:23refugees.
00:21:29What does it mean for us to reach the borders of the Donetsk
00:21:33region? We will present this as a victory, but let it not be
00:21:36an unconditional victory, but nevertheless a victory on points. Putin
00:21:40demands to seize Donbass by the end of this year. Such an
00:21:43order to the generals, according to a source of the Reuters agency
00:21:47in the Kremlin, he gave it a few days ago. By the end of the year,
00:21:50there is a high probability of complete
00:21:53control over the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk
00:21:56defense region, well, that is, reaching the
00:21:59Donetsk, the Donetsk administrative
00:22:02border. Moscow has postponed the deadlines for taking Donbass
00:22:06at least fifteen times, calculated the American Institute
00:22:10for the Study of War. Nobody knows the deadlines for reaching
00:22:13the borders, the possibility of reaching the administrative borders
00:22:17of Donbass. In February 2022, the Kremlin
00:22:20hoped for a quick victory, hoping to completely capture
00:22:24Donbass by September 15th. In May
00:22:262026, the Financial Times wrote that
00:22:30Putin again planned to take the Donetsk region by autumn.
00:22:33Now, Kyiv claims, the military allegedly asks him to postpone
00:22:37the deadlines for the sixteenth time, until the end of March
00:22:402027. Analysts from the USA believe that at
00:22:44this rate of the Russian army's offensive, it will not be possible to capture Donbass
00:22:47until 2032.
00:22:50The ideologists of this war understand what is at stake,
00:22:54there will be no victory, their history will be erased, and while there are no great
00:22:57victories in Ukraine, small and even
00:23:01fabricated ones are used, Kozacha Lopan has been liberated,
00:23:04and yesterday the city of Sviatohirsk. After such
00:23:07a statement by Putin, denials from Ukrainian military, local residents and
00:23:11journalists poured in from the allegedly
00:23:14captured city, but Kremlin media continue to claim that
00:23:18Sviatohirsk has been taken. The same thing happened with Kupiansk in
00:23:21Kharkiv region. Among turbo-patriots, the concept of "flag-planting"
00:23:25has long been common, a staged video recording of
00:23:28planting a flag in a city that has not yet been captured.
00:23:32Such victories lead only to an increase in already
00:23:35high losses of the Russian army. Individual
00:23:38social network users ironically offer their
00:23:42peaceful plan for ending the war. They suggested
00:23:45an excellent idea for a successful resolution of the conflict. "Can't

00:23:55Z-patriots habitually blame the military for everything and shield
00:23:58Putin, saying that incompetent generals deceive him and make
00:24:02a clown out of him. Publicly criticizing the president,

00:29:33beating me up.
