Česko a svět očima Rusů v exilu - Pohled žurnalistů Rádia Svoboda – Ryčlová Ivana (2025)

Cultural historian and translator Ivana Ryčlová conducts interviews with Russian editors, writers, and intellectuals from Radio Free Europe, who live and work outside their homeland and fight against Putin's criminal regime and its propaganda.
