Andrea Chalupa: One year later in Crimea – polls don’t tell the whole story
Oleg Sentsov is the face of Crimea today. A year ago, the Ukrainian filmmaker put his next film on hold to participate in AutoMaidan, bringing food to Ukrainian soldiers under siege during Russia’s take-over of the peninsula. Soon after, he was kidnapped by FSB agents and brought to Moscow. Following a practice prevalent during Stalin’s purges, Sentsov endured torture, beatings and threats of rape for refusing to confess to Kremlin charges of terrorism.
