Professor Bill Bowring’s guest this week answering his 25 questions is Igor Sazhin, a human rights activist from Syktyvkar in the Komi Republic. For many years Igor was chair of the Komi Memorial Human Rights Commission until it closed down as a result of the ‘foreign agent’ law. He continues to be active as a defender of human rights.
