"Will Not Be Silenced"
In recent years, the world has witnessed a disturbing erosion of freedom of speech in Russia. Under the dictatorial regime, individuals who dare to speak out against injustices are met with severe consequences, including imprisonment and even death. The tragic killing of Alexei Navalny, a prominent opposition figure, stands as a stark example of the lengths to which the regime will go to silence dissent.
Russian citizens are denied basic human rights, such as the right to express their opinions freely and peacefully. Those who oppose the government's aggressive actions, particularly in conflicts like the war in Ukraine, are labeled as enemies of the state and subjected to persecution.
The imprisonment of individuals for simply expressing anti-war sentiments or thoughts is a grave violation of fundamental human rights. It reflects a regime that is intolerant of criticism and seeks to maintain power through fear and oppression.
Despite these challenges, there are brave individuals in Russia who continue to speak out against the regime's abuses. Their courage and resilience serve as a reminder of the importance of defending freedom of speech and standing up against tyranny wherever it may arise.
This artwork stands for them, and especially for Boris Nemtsov, Alexei Navalny, Yulia Navalnaya, and others who keep believing and fighting.
