Is it possible to fight the authorities by working for them? Former police officer and history teacher talks about opposition within state structures

As a policeman, this man tried to do everything in his power to
ease the lives of political activists who came across his way. As
a history teacher, he told children the truth about the war.


In this episode we tell the story of Andrei Shestakov, an
ex-police officer and a former school teacher from the small town
in Yakutia. He got a job at the school and refused to teach the
false history of Russia and opposed the war. As a result, he was
monitored by the FSB.


What changed his beliefs? And how did he cease to be the "dog of
the regime" and become a part of the Russian resistance? Listen
to his story in the episode.
