Being in prison felt like a continuation of my work. When I was in prison I felt every day I was doing important work just by being there. It was important to show that I had not been broken; it's very important to show what this regime is and who is willing to stand up to it, said Orlov.
But a large part of the motivation also came from holding a longer-term perspective of how future generations might look back at this historical moment... Now, even if the resistance to Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine is weak and swiftly repressed, Orlov believes it is crucially important to demonstrate that it's there.
