The feminist resistance in Russia is made up of womenmany of them young, who are at the forefront of the protests against the Russian invasion of Ukraine despite threats of persecution and repression.
Alona Malakhayeva She is part of this feminist resistance and tells laSexta that they have always fought alongside Ukrainian and Belarusian women, making it clear that there are no enemies in Ukraine, only women who, more than ever, need her help.
“You have to understand them, because no matter how tough the situation is in Russia, they are under the bombs“, she explains. Alona believes that “we could never know how they would act” in the situation of those women who are subjected to Russian attacks.
For them, the enemy is only one, and it is none other than Vladimir Putin. And it is that he recognizes Alona that women have always lived “in hostile territory” in Russia, always with an emergency backpack to “run away” if necessary.
Despite the news blackout, they look for their channels to support critics of the regime, with social networks as a fundamental medium. “Many people know how to use a VPN and Telegram“, explains Alona, a space where everyone feels safe and sends messages of hope.
They also hang posters in the streets simulating the loss of a dog, an image with QR codes that lead to the pages of resistance. A fight to the limit that needs loudspeakers around the world.
