Abstract

The article discusses the experiences of Russian dissidents who have been released from prison and are now living in exile. Activists like Ilya Yashin are adjusting to life outside of Russia and finding ways to continue their work from abroad. While their release is cause for celebration, many dissidents feel that they have been unjustly barred from their homeland. They face the difficult choice of staying in Russia and risking arrest or leaving and potentially losing relevance. The article also highlights the challenges of opposing the regime from abroad and the infighting within the Russian opposition. Despite the obstacles, the dissidents are determined to continue their political work and raise awareness about the Russian government's actions. [Extracted from the article]
