As a policeman, this man tried to do everything in his power to ease the lives of political activists who came across his way. As a history teacher, he told children the truth about the war.
In this episode we tell the story of Andrei Shestakov, an ex-police officer and a former school teacher from the small town in Yakutia. He got a job at the school and refused to teach the false history of Russia and opposed the war. As a result, he was monitored by the FSB.
What changed his beliefs? And how did he cease to be the "dog of the regime" and become a part of the Russian resistance? Listen to his story in the episode.
