Abstract
  • The documentary "The Traitors" exposes the sobering truth about modern Russian politics, reminding the reader that Putin's regime is merely a continuation of the corrupt system established in the 1990s. Why did the "liberal" opposition react so strongly to this film? Are Russian liberals ready to engage in a dialogue with broader circles of their society, or are their views far removed from popular opinions? Lev Kadik's analysis highlights the new dynamics of the Russian "Historikerstreit" in the making.
