Ukraine War's 4-Year Legacy: Russia's Changing Landscape
Exploring the far-reaching impact of the Ukraine war on Russia - from civil liberties to everyday choices. Despite the changes, public support for the conflict remains high.
The Ukraine war has now entered its fourth year, and its reverberations have been felt deeply within Russia. From the curtailing of civil liberties to the limited options available on store shelves, the conflict has transformed the everyday lives of Russian citizens in profound ways.
One of the most significant changes has been the government's crackdown on dissent and free expression. Protests against the war are now virtually banned, with harsh penalties for those who dare to voice opposition. The media landscape has also been dramatically reshaped, with independent outlets shuttered and a tight grip maintained on the flow of information.
