Sasha's Message

Not long after Russian troops invaded Ukraine, Sasha Skochilenko walked into a grocery store in St. Petersburg, Russia. She reached into the pocket of her puffy winter coat, and pulled out a sheet of sticker price tags where she’d printed information she was learning about the war. Information she wasn’t getting from Russian state media. She placed the tags on a few shelves, and left. But these small tags were about to change the trajectory of Sasha's life. On this week's Storylines, Julia Pagel follows the fight for Sasha's freedom, as she faces up to 15 years in Russian prison for what Russia calls spreading "deliberately false information about the Russian army."
