Civil war
Novaya-Europe contacted the Civic Council, an organisation that has announced a recruitment campaign for the Russian Volunteer Corps and other formations that accept Russians wanting to fight against Russian troops. We also talked to Ildar Dadin, a well-known civil activist.
“Many are frightened by the very word ‘resistance,’” Anastasia Sergeeva, international secretary of the Civic Council, told Novaya-Europe. “The tools used by civil society since the 1990s have now wholly exhausted themselves. You can’t play chess if your opponent is going to box. Today you need to go and fight, making it clear for yourself which side of the conflict you’re on. There are no other options.”
