Despite the huge risks, two Russian filmmakers spent the year filming the impact of the war inside their country. Hundreds of thousands have fled. Those that stayed have had to choose - to oppose, support or stay silent. A group of young graffiti artists begin a campaign of subversive art to mock the government’s pro-war propaganda. An actor mourns her brother who was killed in Mariupol fighting for the Russian Armed Forces. She is against the war; her father supports it.
Storyville Inside Russia: Traitors and Heroes was produced by BBC World Service’s investigation unit, BBC Eye.
Directed by Anastasia Popova, produced by Misha Kozyrev and Stephanie Stafford, Edited by Anna Saridi & Baya Cat, Exec Producer Monica Garnsey.

A story about a trip to Japan. You might be interested to know about the Japan Open, a competition that takes place every autumn in Japan. In 2019 (my first senior season) I was invited to a tournament that took place on October 5th in Saitama. This is a team format, three teams participate: Europe, America and Japan. Each team consists of four people: two single skaters and two single skaters. I performed with Alina Zagitova, Javier Fernandez and Denis Vasiliev. Team America was represented by Brady Tennel, Mirai Nagasu, Vincent Zhou and Nathan Chen. Japanese - Rika Kihira, Satoko Miyahara, Koshiro Shimada and Shoma Uno. The competition itself is more like a show. It lasts one day, everyone demonstrates only a free program, and the results are added to team points. After the competition, demonstration performances are held on the same day. We arrived in Japan late in the evening. The next day was a training day, and the next day was a competition. Not only is the change of time zones, but almost without breaks. In such conditions, I have never performed before, it was a serious test. I was very worried because I did not have time to rest before the performance, as I usually did. In the morning before the competition, the training was unsuccessful - nothing worked out for me, and I was upset and decided to lie down for a bit and relax in the locker room of the Ice Palace. When the competition began, the hall was full of people, not a single empty seat! The presentation of the teams was as follows: we went out on the ice and showed a small scene-presentation. The men were the first to perform, we supported our team in Kiss and Cry, and after that we ran to warm up. I was also very worried because it was just a team competition. According to the results of the men's performance, our team took third place, and I wanted to fix it. Then for the first time I tried to perform four quadruple jumps in one program at the competitions. On that day, it turned out to do everything as planned. In the end we won! After the performance and the announcement of the results, I experienced a feeling of complete satisfaction and devastation. The very feeling for which, it seems to me, all athletes perform. I felt this only twice in my entire sports life - at the YJCHM in Sofia and here at the Japan Open. Immediately after the award ceremony, ice was poured, and we went to a rehearsal of demonstration performances. I skated my short program, although it was difficult after such a performance. The tournament ended very late. We did not have time for dinner at the hotel, and the four of us (me, my mother, Daniil Markovich Gleikhengauz and Alina Zagitova) went to look for a restaurant. We found the only one working, and everyone there really liked it. Except me. I was able to eat only the most ordinary salmon rolls, because I don’t really like to experiment with food. I especially want to note that figure skating is very popular in Japan. Trembling, with admiration and great respect for all athletes. Spectators at competitions always have the flags of each country. And they support everyone like their own! These competitions will forever be remembered. For me it was a very unusual, interesting and useful experience. matchtv.ru/figure-skating/matchtvnews_NI1792749_To_samoje_chuvstvo_radi_kotorogo_vystupajut_vse_sportsmeny_ja_oshhushhala_dvazhdy_Kolonka_Aleksandry_Trusovoj
