Russian censorship - From Moscow to Murmansk

Censorship in Russia is not limited to journalism: in all possible areas people are threatened and opposed. In this episode of 'From Moscow to Murmansk' Jelle Brandt Corstius brings attention to censorship in Russia and (death) threats to critical journalists, human rights activists and dissidents.
Original title: New censorship
In the first series: From Moscow to Magadan, Jelle Brandt Corstius traveled from West to East, focusing on the endless Russian countryside and the villages. In this second series: From Moscow to Murmansk, he travels from North to South along the largest river of Russia: the Volga River. A trip along the relatively unknown cities like Murmansk, Volgograd, Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod, but also to Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Through topics like women in Russia, new censorship, the environmental problem from Russian perspective and the ideological vacuum, a relatively unknown side of Russia is once again exposed.
Presented by: Jelle Brandt Corstius
Final editor: Gert-Jan Hox
Directed by: Hans Pool

Unfortunately, there were some audio problems detected in our original publication of this episode. We deleted that video and fixed the audio. This is the new video with the right audio.

I noticed how your camera person zoomed in on the older guy @ 14:02. Do you think he was just a regular citizen who was there to pay his respects and honor the slain journalists, or do you think that he was a member of the state security services and was sent to monitor the situation? Did anything about his behavior seem odd when you were there?

history has shown that life in Russia for the common man and woman has always been hard and it looks like with Putin it will stay the same, I believe he would like to go back to the old times of Stalinism and the soviet union because he came up under the Soviet system I don't think he has the good of all Russians at heart, maybe just the wealthy class
