Russia vs. Russia

Russians, and especially Muscovites, have been marching in ever greater numbers in recent months against a power that is considered to be liberticidal. More than ever, Russia appears to be a nation divided between those who keep a low profile in front of Putin's authoritarianism, or even support him, and those who fight him, often at the risk of their freedom. Who are these ordinary citizens who take all the risks, up to having to go into exile, to demand a Russia with a human face? For nearly a year, director Stephane Bentura followed those who, often young and educated, made Alexei Navalny their figurehead, poisoned and then imprisoned upon his surprise return to Moscow in January 2021.
