For years, #Russia’s official #ideology has revolved around the myth that the country is in danger and its enemies are trying to destroy it. The #war in #Ukraine is the logical continuation of this myth. To learn how deep the historical foundations for this conflict go, #Meduza turned to Andrei Zorin, a professor at the University of #Oxford who studies the #history of Russian state ideology and the cultural and political myths that support it.

On the first day of #Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine, protests broke out across the world. Weeks later, thousands of people continue taking to the streets to demand Russian troops leave Ukrainian territory and stop the #war. Many of them use a symbol that began appearing alongside traditional Ukrainian flags in late February: the white-blue-white flag, whose advocates say Russia’s traditional tricolor flag is tied to bloodshed. #Meduza tells the story of this flag’s creation — and what its future might hold.

RSF Reporters Without Borders has used the mirror site technology of its Collateral Freedom operation to unblock access to Meduza, the most popular Russian independent news website, and urges all independent media outlets that are being blocked by Russian censorship to contact RSF so that they can also benefit from this operation.
