Natalia wants to make it clear that she is against Vladimir Putin.
The stickers that she distributes around Berlin, where she's living
in exile, could land her in jail if she ever goes back to Russia.
How does it feel,
to be a Russian national traitor?
Putin has just been
sworn in again as president.
He's ruled Russia
for almost 25 years and is
becoming increasingly authoritarian.
That's one of the reasons why Natalia left
— and many other Russians.
We want peace for Russia.
We want democracy for Russia.
We just want people to
live in freedom and not be
afraid of getting in jail.
Natalia and other supporters of
the late Russian opposition leader
Alexei Navalny are
on a mission in Berlin.
Now, I think, we have
the responsibility to stop it
before Putin wants
to blow up the whole world.
The new great hope of many
young Russians is Navalny's
widow Yulia Navalnaya.
They started following her after his unexplained death in
a Siberian prison camp.
We're with you, Yulia.
Thank YOU.
Thank you for continuing your husband's mission.
He gave us hope.
Now it's coming back with you.
In Berlin and in Brussels,
Navalnaya has been campaigning
tirelessly for more sanctions to be
imposed on Russian politicians who
are loyal to Putin
and own property abroad.
Navalny's opposition network has compiled a list of around 7,000
politicians to target.
His widow wants to exert economic and political pressure from exile.
What is your message for Russian people?
Just be brave.
One day, very soon, we will win.
The German Navalny team has launched an awareness-raising
campaign in exile.
Good evening.
My name is Natalia.
I'm from a Russian polling service.
Do you have some time for me?
Only if it's quick.
Go ahead!
Thank you very much.
Natalia calls people in Russia,
talks to them about the war in
Ukraine, its victims and the costs.
We argue very carefully
against the Russian government.
Many of them might never
have been confronted with
a different opinion.
We want to make them think.
It's painstaking.
And Dima knows this too.
Many are afraid to talk because
anyone who criticizes the Russian
army and the war in Ukraine risks
going to jail for several years.
Hello.
What city do you live in?
In Makhachkala.
That was a young woman.
I started talking to her but then
her husband came and said: 'We're
not interested.' But before that
she said she was worried about
medical care and the special operation.
Putin calls this war of aggression
in Ukraine a special operation.
Although he is no longer alive,
the young people are inspired
by Putin's best-known rival,
Alexei Navalny.
One must not give up.
The only thing necessary for
the triumph of evil is for
the good people to do nothing.
So, do not do nothing!
And so they continue to act.
It would be great if there were no need to put up these stickers.
If there were no war and no Putin.
If Russia had taken a different path a long time ago.
But what happened cannot be undone.
Yulia Navalnaya is the new icon of the opposition.
Many hope that she will be able to unite those who are willing to
fight for a free Russia.
But they too will
have to take action.
