Yulia Navalnaya

The internet, once a platform for open exchange, faces a growing challenge: how can it remain a beacon of free expression in the face of authoritarian regimes? Savvy dictators are wielding pressure and financial incentives to silence online dissent, even beyond their own borders. Join Yulia Navalnaya, a powerful voice for democracy and human rights, as she reflects on the lessons learned by the Russian resistance movement.


Dictators & digital dissent

In an increasingly politically divided world, liberal democracy seems to be on the retreat. From Putin's Russia to Maduro's Venezuela, autocrats are gaining ground, while populists in Europe and the US echo sentiments not heard since WWII. In this conversation, Yulia Navalnaya and Leopoldo López draw from their personal experiences on the front lines of this struggle.
