Victor Erofeyev is known in Russia as a troublemaker. His father was a high-ranking Communist officer, who’s political career has been cut short due to his son’s ongoing conflict with the Russian state. Victor is seen as a champion of Western ideology; his views have landed him in court and led to death threats. Now, however, change is in the air. Ordinary people and extremist movements alike are demanding political reform. What makes Victor risk everything for democracy in a country where it just doesn’t seem to fit?
