This week, The Daily is revisiting some of our favorite
episodes of the year and checking in on what has happened in the
time since they first ran.

Days after Russia invaded Ukraine, the Kremlin made it a crime to
oppose the war in public. Since then, it has waged a relentless
campaign of repression, putting Russian citizens in jail for
offenses as small as holding a poster or sharing a news article
on social media.

Valerie Hopkins, an international correspondent for The Times,
tells the story of Olesya Krivtsova, a 19-year-old student who
faces up to 10 years in prison after posting on social media, and
explains why the Russian government is so determined to silence
those like her.

Guest: Valerie Hopkins, an international
correspondent for The New York Times, covering Russia and the war
in Ukraine.

Background reading:

The authorities are determining who will take custody of a
13-year-old girl whose single father has been sentenced for
“discrediting” the Russian Army.
