Feminist activism under Russian political repression

How do feminists adapt their protest repertoires to a repressive political environment? What is the role of feminist activism in a wartime context?

She is known for performance art protests against war, militarism, domestic violence and in support of jailed activists. She also writes and edits feminist books and children’s tales. She was among the first three individuals to be labelled as 'foreign agents' by the Russian state, and is now based in Georgia.
