Caption
Two friends and scholars talk about hope in the context of Russia, touching on Russian history of thought and the contemporary struggles for queer rights. Pasha wonders how to go on. Kolya talks about how the absence of hope opens up the possibility for political action. Together, they think about what being queer in Russia today entails—and how one can find community in the midst of dark times.
