Space for Freedom: "It all felt like it was closing in on me"

A Russian journalist in exile and participant in our Space for Freedom program looks back on the years since the start of Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine, his decision to go into exile and the new life he has built.

DW Akademie is conducting the "Space for Freedom" project as a network partner of the German government's Hannah Arendt Initiative. Through this initiative, the Federal Foreign Office and the Federal Commissioner for Culture and Media are supporting journalists, media workers and defenders of freedom of expression in crisis and conflict areas, as well as those living in exile in Germany.
