In the season finale of Clash of Narratives’ third season, two very different Russian theater directors sit down and talk about fascism, freedom of speech, and the future of their country.

In episode 2 of Truth and Theater in St. Petersburg, directors Grigoriy and Vladimir expound on their Orthodox Christian beliefs. For Vladimir, it was God’s will that Putin became Russia’s leader. For Grigoriy, the church’s ties to the government compelled him to leave the Russian Orthodoxy.

In the season premiere of Truth and Theater in St. Petersburg, directors Vladimir and Grigoriy are in the process of staging the same play about fascism, but with very different interpretations of what this word means in modern-day Russia.

The final episode of A Ukrainian Love Story looks at the family traumas that lead to radicalization and the relationship offering a ramp to reconciliation. It’s not an easy path.

As war rages in eastern Ukraine, Dima, a former leader of an ultra-right group, and Tanya, a self-proclaimed anarcho-feminist, make an unlikely couple in modern-day Kiev.  

In Episode Two both announce that they are pro-Western. So, whose West is it, anyway?

Our pilot season begins in Georgia, where two very different women, Tamara Chergoleishvili and Irma Inashvili, fight for opposite visions for their country and the world.
