Between Horror and Hope:Feminist Anti-War Resistance and Opportunities for Mobilization In and Outside of Putin’s Russia

Natalia Kovyliaeva is a Ph.D Candidate at the University of Tartu. Natalia will demonstrate how marginalized and vulnerable groups may find a way to resist the dictatorial regime to spread their anti-war messages and gain a voice within a very hostile environment by building a transnational (online) network of feminist anti-war cells inside and outside of Russia, form new identities and agendas within the feminist grassroots movements, and impact political agendas of other anti-war initiatives.
