from the Gironde, an associative radio wants to offer Russians “objective and free information”

In Gironde, an associative radio is followed by… Russian listeners. She broadcasts from a nurse’s office transformed into an improvised studio, 3,000 km from Moscow (Russia). From his village, Sylvain Clament has been broadcasting since the start of the war in Ukraine. He calls on several journalists in exile, such as Anastasia Kirilenko, a reporter who had to flee Moscow for Paris. “I was born in Siberia, and 90% of the people I grew up with, they all support the war. Brainwashed by propaganda“, she explains.

Outsmarting censorship, offering a “objective and free information“These are the main missions of Radio for Peace International. Listeners must tune in to shortwave. In Russia, many still pick it up on their old transistors. The signal is almost impossible to jam.”It’s magic, no one can be traced, and that’s very important to us“, notes Sylvain Clament.
