Summary

It’s a dangerous time for Russians speaking out against President Vladimir Putin – though many still bravely do so. Russian human rights group Memorial has been working since the 1980s to expose abuses by the Russian state. The Nobel committee recognized this in awarding the group this year’s Peace Prize, which it shares with Ukraine’s Center for Civil Liberties, and an imprisoned Belarusian human rights advocate. Christiane speaks with its Chairman Jan Raczynski about the Nobel honor and his fight against repression. Also on today's show: Defending Democracy Together cofounder Sarah Longwell; artist Barbara Chase-Riboud.
