In the weeks before and after the invasion of Ukraine on 24th February 2022, the Russian media landscape was radically restructured. Askold Kurov, director of The Trial: The State Of Russia Vs Oleg Sentsov (2017) and Children 404 (2014), documents how the tightening grip of political repression through new legislation on press freedom prompts some to self-censor and forces others into exile. By charting the tipping point in one country, Kurov points to the alarming trend of external interference in independent journalism by state and private interests around the world. (BH)
