Nezavisni glas iz Rusije u egzilu:
Festival dokumentarnog filma Mediazona u Novom Sadu
CK13 | 8-9. septembar 2026. | 19h
Omladinski centar CK13 vas poziva na dvodnevni program “Nezavisni glas iz Rusije u egzilu” koji će se održati 8. i 9. septembra u Omladinskom centru CK13 i koji čine pet dokumentarnih filmova u produkciji progonjenih ruskih nezavisnih studija razrez i Mediazona.
Program je posvećen godišnjici nezavisnog medija Mediazona, koji ove godine puni 12 godina. Mediazonu su 2014. godine osnovale članice grupe Pussy Riot, Nadežda Tolokonikova i Marija Aljohina, zajedno sa Pjotrom Verzilovim, nakon izlaska iz zatvora. Mediazona danas predstavlja jedan od najvećih i najrelevantnijih nezavisnih opozicionih medija koji izveštavaju o društveno-političkoj situaciji u Rusiji, ratu i političkim zatvorenicima. Zbog svog rada, ovaj medij se suočava sa stalnim pritiscima i progonima od strane ruskih vlasti.
U ove dve večeri biće prikazano pet filmova koji obrađuju dve velike teme: kako ljudi žive i donose odluke usred rata; i kako se sećanje može sačuvati u vremenu kada samo sećanje postane osporeno pravo i politički čin.
- septembar | 19h | “Rusija nakon invazije na Ukrajinu”
Koje mogućnosti i kakvi izbori preostaju osobi zatečenoj u ratu? Gde je granica između prilagođavanja, unutrašnjeg kompromisa i otpora? Koji oblici otpora ostaju mogući kada se prostor za delovanje neprestano smanjuje? Kako rat menja društvo? I kako ova pitanja odjekuju danas u srpskom društvu koje nosi nasleđe ratne i zločinačke prošlosti?
- Moscow Calling (2025, 47 min) donosi priču o Andreju Kuršinu, koji se borio protiv Ukrajine ali kasnije zbog svojih kritika ruske vojske biva osuđen je na šest i po godina kazne u kaznenoj koloniji.
- Homemakers (2024, 19 min) prati žene u selu blizu Muroma, gde su skoro svi muškarci mobilisani za rat.
- The Frontier (2023, 24 min) prenosi priču o Anastasiji Bortnik, ženi iz Harkova koja je pokušala da spase svoju svekrvu sa okupirane teritorije, ali je i sama završila u rukama ruskih snaga bezbednosti.
- septembar | 19h | “Sećanje u vreme rata”
Kako se sećanje može sačuvati pod represijom? Ko odlučuje o tome šta društvo treba da pamti, a šta da zaboravi? I kako ova pitanja odjekuju danas u Srbiji, gde sećanje na državno nasilje, ratove i zločine i dalje ostaje predmet političke borbe?
- Cardboard (2025, 65 min) prati aktiviste koji obnavljaju uništene spomen-ploče posvećene žrtvama staljinističke represije.
- A farewell to Alexei Navalny. Chronicling the funeral (2024, 26 min) dokumentuje događaj opraštanja javnosti od Alekseja Navaljnog kojem su prisustvovale hiljade ljudi, od redova ljudi ispred hrama do marša kroz Marjino sa antiratnim parolama.
Oba dana će nakon projekcija uslediti razgovor u kojem će učestvovati urednik Mediazone Yegorom Skovorodom i Ekaterina Shlykova, članica kolektiva laboratorije sećanja “Sisters of Memory”, sa sagovornicima iz Srbije, novosadskim rediteljem Aleksandrom Reljićem, i sa Laurom Pejak i Borislavom Prodanovićem iz kolektiva CK13. Razgovaraćemo o ruskom i srpskom iskustvu, o životu u uslovima rastućeg autoritarizma i „mekog fašizma”, o sećanju i otporu, kao i o mogućnostima za solidarnost preko nacionalnih granica.
Projekcije počinju u 19h.
Filmovi će biti prikazani na ruskom jeziku sa titlovima na engleskom. Diskusija će se voditi na engleskom jeziku.
Ulaz je besplatan.
Registracija je dobrodošla radi planiranja događaja.

An Independent Voice from Russia in Exile: Mediazona Documentary Film Festival in Novi Sad
On September 8 and 9, the Youth Center CK13 in Novi Sad will host screenings of documentary films by the independent studio razrez and Mediazona. Two evenings, five films, and two major themes: how people live and make choices in the midst of war, and how memory can be preserved when the very right to remember becomes a political act.
The screenings are dedicated to the anniversary of the independent media Mediazona, which turns 12 this year. Mediazona was founded in 2014 by Pussy Riot members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, together with Pyotr Verzilov, after their release from prison. Today, Mediazona is one of the largest independent opposition media outlets covering Russia, the war, and political prisoners. Because of its work, the outlet faces ongoing pressure and persecution from the Russian authorities.
September 8 — “Russia After the Invasion of Ukraine”
What choices remain for a person caught up in a war? Where is the line between adaptation, internal compromise, and resistance? What forms of resistance remain possible when the space for action is steadily shrinking? How does war change society? And how do these questions resonate today in Serbia, a country with its own experience of war?
Moscow Calling (2025, 47 min) tells the story of Andrey Kurshin, who fought against Ukraine but later began criticizing the Russian military and was sentenced to six and a half years in a penal colony. Homemakers (2024, 19 min) follows women in a village near Murom, where almost all the men have been mobilized to fight in the war. The Frontier (2023, 24 min) tells the story of Anastasia Bortnik, a woman from Kharkiv who tried to rescue her mother-in-law from occupied territory but ended up in the hands of Russian security forces herself.
September 9 — “Memory in Wartime”
How can memory be preserved under repression? Who decides what a society should remember and what it should forget? And how do these questions resonate in Serbia today, where the memory of wars and state violence remains part of political struggle?
Cardboard (2025, 65 min) follows activists who restore destroyed memorial plaques dedicated to victims of Stalinist repression.
A farewell to Alexei Navalny. Chronicling the funeral (2024, 26 min) documents the thousands of people who came to say goodbye to Alexei Navalny — from the lines outside the church to the march through Maryino with anti-war slogans.
On both days, the screenings will be followed by a conversation featuring Mediazona editor Yegor Skovoroda and Ekaterina Shlykova, a member of the Memory Laboratory collective Sisters of Memory, together with participants from Serbia: Novi Sad director Aleksandar Reljić, and Laura Pejak and Borislav Prodanović from the CK13 collective. We will talk about the Russian and Serbian experiences, about living amid growing authoritarianism and “soft fascism,” about memory and resistance, and about the possibilities for solidarity across national borders.
The films will be screened in Russian with English subtitles. The discussion will be held in English.
