Little does she know that her jokey lo-fi film will soon attract the attention of the autocratic censors at the highest levels of the Russian police state.What follows is a propulsive narrative of an artist being crushed by state power, and the choices that one makes within a system where free expression is literally illegal.Svetlana Satchkova is a Russian-born journalist and novelist who immigrated to the United States in 2016.
