For more than 30 years, Memorial International has been Russia’s most prominent human rights organization. Today, Russia’s Supreme Court shut down the organization. Memorial first opened in 1989 with a mission to archive Soviet-era crimes. Later, as it expanded across Russia, it also became a pillar of civil society, advocating for human rights. Host Marco Werman speaks with Russian opposition politician and vice president of the Free Russia Foundation Vladimir Kara-Murza.
