Civil Society Forum Examines Environmental Advocacy under Authoritarianism

Angelina Davydova’s essay for Civil Society Forum examines how environmental campaigns continue in Russia despite repression. It discusses local civic organising, state-backed organisations and the risks of international cooperation.

The essay highlights the December arrest of Daria Egereva and the wider searches targeting Indigenous advocates, placing these events within the shrinking space for independent environmental and human rights work.
