Meet your defender: Interview with Anna Dobrovolskaya (RU)

This time IPHR team interviewed Anna Dobrovolskaya, an Executive Director of Human Rights Centre Memorial. Anna represents a young generation of HRD both in her vision and actions. That is to say, in her work she focuses on knowledge-sharing, valuing diversity and impact opportunities beyond finger-pointing.

Anna told us how foreign agent law affects the life and work of NGOs in Russia, what widens the gap between government and Russian civil society, and how she sees the future of her country.
