Fighting the Moscow heritage with Natasha Konradova

#78 – in conversation with academic researcher and cultural historian Natasha Konradova. Natasha began her career as a passionate journalist, travelling across remote regions of Russia and speaking with people. In 2014, following the annexation of Crimea, she and her family decided to leave Moscow and settled in Berlin. Since 2022, she has been active in a human rights organisation, running various educational programs for youngsters, who want to learn about the unprocessed Soviet past through oral history and personal stories.  References: Ural Mari.
