Join us for a public lecture by Katerina Gordeeva, one of the most influential
independent voices in contemporary Russia and award-winning journalist,
documentary writer, and author. Katerina worked as a war correspondent in
Chechnya, Afghanistan, and Iraq before leaving Russia in 2014 in protest against
Russia’s annexation of Crimea, and since 2020, she has produced Tell Gordeeva,
one of the most viewed independent Russian-language media channels with over 2
million subscribers. Renowned for her deep, personal interviewing style, Katerina’s
work explores complex issues ranging from the impact of state violence and war to
issues of gender, violence, and family in Russia and the former Soviet Union.
