The elections in Russia are over. And, unsurprisingly, there was no surprise: the ruling party won by a margin that was, quite literally, unreal.

But then why train election observers at all? That’s exactly what the “School of Elections” was doing ahead of Russia’s 2026 elections.

You might think: if the outcome is already predictable, what’s the point of having observers?

And yet, as electoral experts noted, the Russian authorities had to get quite nervous this year. Both election observers and ordinary voters actively tried to document violations: they filmed what was happening at polling stations, demanded that the law be followed, and publicly shared evidence online of the violations and abuses taking place. As we’ve shared before, the only party demanding peace with Ukraine, was banned from the elections.

Ekaterina Beliankina, founder of the “School of Elections”, has spent many years working as an election observer in Russia. She gives us a short overview of the 2026 State Duma elections — and of what election observation looks like when the outcome seems predictable from the start.

The full conversation is coming soon on YouTube.

Since 2020, Belarus’s environmental movement – which had previously influenced government decision-making – has faced a systematic crackdown. More than 140 environmental NGOs have been dissolved, dozens of activists have faced criminal prosecution, and the state has officially withdrawn from key international environmental agreements.

Ecodom, in cooperation with the Green Network, has presented the analytical report “The Situation of Environmental Organizations and Activists in Belarus Amid the Socio-Political Crisis.” Read the full report at ecohome.ngo.

Ліквідацыя 140 НДА і выхад з экалагiчных канвенцый ААН: агляд экалагічнага сектара Беларусі ад Экадома

Пасля 2020 года беларускі экалагічны рух, які раней уплываў на дзяржаўныя рашэнні, сутыкнуўся з сістэматычным разгромам: у краіне ліквідавалі больш за 140 тэматычных НДА, дзясяткі актывістаў прайшлі праз крымінальныя справы, а дзяржава афіцыйна выйшла з ключавых міжнародных пагадненняў па ахове прыроды. «Экадом» у супрацоўніцтве з «Зялёнай сеткай» прэзентаваў аналітычны агляд «Становішча экалагічных арганізацый і актывістаў у Беларусі ва ўмовах грамадска-палітычнага крызісу».

At the end of June, we presented the performance “Memoria” at the Berliner Ensemble. It was also a rare and valuable opportunity to bring together audiences, artists, partners, and friends. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening.

What is Memoria?

Memoria is a documentary play about memory and the work of the International Memorial. Originally written by Nana Grinstein and directed by Anastasia Patlay, “Memoria” premiered in Moscow in 2022. Shortly afterwards, following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the production was banned from further performances.

The play follows three historical periods: the Stalinist terror of the 1930s, the late 1980s when Memorial was founded to preserve the memory of political repression, and the present day.

These timelines are connected through the life of Carola Neher, one of Bertolt Brecht's greatest actresses and the original Polly in The Threepenny Opera. After fleeing N**i Germany, she sought refuge in the Soviet Union, where she was arrested, imprisoned in the GULAG and died of typhus in 1942.

Alongside Carola Neher, the play brings together the voices of Bertolt Brecht and Irina Scherbakowa, one of Memorial's founders, whose research helped uncover the story of Neher's fate and reunite her son with the history that had been erased.

Following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, director Anastasia Patlay left Russia and became the first artist to join the Artists at Risk residency at Brechthaus Augsburg. During the residency, she created a new version of Memoria, which premiered at the Augsburg Brechtfestival in 2023.

Presenting Memoria at Berliner Ensemble is deeply symbolic. It returns Carola Neher's story to the stage of the theatre founded by Bertolt Brecht, her friend and collaborator. By weaving together different historical periods, the play reveals disturbing echoes between the past and the present, reminding us that the work of preserving memory remains as urgent as ever.

This Wednesday we met here at Dialogbüro Vienna space to discuss how Russian fossil fuels continue to affect Europe despite sanctions, and how energy exports, environmental degradation, authoritarianism, and the war in Ukraine are interconnected.

Thank you to all the participants (you!) and the expert panel:

— Anton Lementuev
Co-founder of GreenThinkTank.life; researcher focusing on Russian extractive industries, energy, and environmental risks

— Arnold Khachaturov
Director of CEDAR, Head of Data Team at Novaya Gazeta Europe

— Artem Kochnev
Climate & Energy Economist, Denkfabrik Initiative

— Olga Pindyuk
Economist at The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw)

— Anna Zamejc
Moderator of the discussion, Founder and Director of Impact Lens Foundation; journalist and international advocacy expert focusing on civil society and democratic resilience.

The panel’s overall conclusion was that sanctions have significantly reduced Russia’s access to European energy markets but have not eliminated Russian fossil-fuel revenues. Russia has adapted through new trade routes, intermediaries, and alternative financial systems. The speakers argued that Europe should continue closing sanctions loopholes, accelerate the green transition, and reduce remaining economic ties that indirectly support Russia’s fossil-fuel economy and war effort.

What did you think of the discussion and the research?

Russia's coal industry did not collapse after the start of the full-scale war against Ukraine. Though it loses its sustainable economic model and damages the whole planet.

Russia may hide 55% of its methane emissions. But how?

Join us on June 10 at Hidden Risks: Russian Fossil Fuels, Climate, and Europe’s Sanctions Blind Spots We'll present three new investigations:

— Russian Coal Industry 2022–2025
— Shadow Routes: How Russia Learned to Live With Oil Sanctions
— Russian Natural Gas Industry in the Context of Russia's Full-Scale Invasion of Ukraine

The numbers tell a different story.
