About the event
LGBT World Beside, in collaboration with BAISmag and MOCT, invites you to an evening with Eva Cukier—journalist, Slavist, and author of “Ruzland: Country at War with Itself and the World.”
Russia’s internal political landscape has been in turmoil, marked by increasing authoritarianism, suppression of dissent, and expanding restrictions on civil liberties. Among those most affected are LGBTQ+ individuals, who face systemic discrimination, censorship, and even criminalization. In this discussion, Eva Cukier will provide insights into the growing repression within Russia, its impact on various communities, and the country’s broader geopolitical stance.
With years of experience covering Russia and Eastern Europe, Eva Cukier has closely followed the country’s descent into autocracy.
