About the project

Faces of Russian Resistance is a series of exhibitions in different cities around the world about Russians who oppose the criminal Putin regime, and paid for it with their freedom. Our heroes are not only politicians who led an open struggle for the freedom of Russia. These are ordinary citizens who did not believe the false propaganda and did not accept the invasion to a neighboring country. There are men and women, young and old, political activists, artists, scientists, students, fathers and mothers. They were all jailed for years, some of them — for decades.

The purpose of our exhibition is to tell Europeans about the fate of Russian political prisoners, to attract the attention of Western society to severe violations of human rights in Russia, to ensure that the issue of the release of Russian political prisoners is included in any communications with the Russian authorities that are carried out or will be held in the future.

The exhibition is designed for urban public spaces, boulevards, and squares. The texts on the posters are made in the languages of the country in which the exhibition is taking place. 

In 2024 our exhibitions were held in Tallinn, Vilnius, Berlin, Prague, Nuremberg, Stuttgart, Dusseldorf, Budva, Copenhagen, Munich, Stockholm, Oslo and Riga. In 2024 an exhibition took place in Zurich. There are current exhibitions in Kirenes, Helsinki and a museum exhibition in Tallinn.
Please find events photos and reports at the respective pages.

Мы запускаем новую опцию!!!

Теперь информацию об узниках путинского режима можно не только прочитать на сайте и плакатах, но и прослушать на платформе музейных аудиогидов tmatic.travel на нескольких языках.

Tatyana Felgenhauer and Ilya Azar have already recorded an audio guide in Russian.

We are looking for individuals who are fluent in the other languages: English, German, French, among others, and whose voices are well recognized within the language community, to record the audio guides.

If you are ready to participate, please contact Elena Filina on Telegram.
