Description:

As democratic institutions face pressure in the United States, some are pointing to Russia as a warning.

After a brief democratic opening, freedoms were rolled back when Vladimir Putin took power in 1999. Free press does not exist. Indigenous climate activist Daria Egereva was jailed after speaking at the United Nations. Cultural Survival is calling for her release.

Why are those who lived through Russia's backslide sounding the alarm now?

On this episode of APTN Nation to Nation, we speak with an Indigenous activist who fled Russia and journalist Pavel Kanygin, who now runs his independent platform from abroad.
