    The Russian Context: Philosophers' Ship, Journalists' Airplane

    This is the Christmas episode of the Russian Context Podcast in which we want to put Russia in context again.  General number of Russians who want to live outside the country reached 22% — that’s the highest result since 2013. More than a half of citizens from 18 to 24 years old want to leave Russia forever, again, the highest result for the past 10 years.  In this episode, we spoke to different Russian immigrants, so that in 3 chapters you could get a better understanding why our people choose to depart from the country.  Alina and Yura has moved to Vilnius, Daria and Nika — to Tbilisi. They all have their stories about being pressured or chased by the Russian government. The guys told us about their reasons to leave, how they do abroad and if there is a chance that they will return.

    The Russian Context: Fear of QR

    This is the third episode of the Russian Context, brought to you by Novaya Gazeta. This time, we speak about preventive measures against the pandemic of COVID-19 in Russia and how the Kremlin tries to find a balance between saving President’s rating and saving people from death.  We talked with Aleksandr Panchin, a Ph. D. Biology and member of Russian Science Academy’s commission against pseudoscience, about russian people’s fears and prejudices towards vaccination and QR-codes. On November 27, opponents of covid restrictions visited the "red zone" in the city clinical hospital No. 15 in Moscow with an excursion. The reason for this was the appeal of the head physicians of covid hospitals who suggested to show seriously ill patients and morgues to anti-vaccination agents in order to encourage people to be vaccinated against coronavirus. Natasha Glukhova, our senior reporter, told us how was the tour.
