Darja is a blogger. Sonja studied art in St. Petersburg. Alisa makes sculptures in the provincial town of Nizhny Tagil. Helga is a deputy in the Novosibirsk City Council. The Russian invasion of Ukraine turned their lives upside down. Darja is taken away by the police; someone writes “traitor” on her door at night. Sonja is arrested after an art event and flees to Georgia before the next court date. There are proceedings underway against Alisa. And Helga wakes up in the “capital of the ‘Z” after the war begins. CTRL_F these four women have given an insight into their lives, and thus also into the dictatorship that Russia is now. STRG_F also speaks with people like Nikita, a student who creates a mood for the war and against women like Daria, Sonja and Alisa in a Telegram group. Who is happy that Russia is “big” again.
