Vera Kichanova
27 years
Moscow

She protested against Putin’s re-election in 2012 and, was elected to the Moscow City Council. She represents the libertarian party: a party that advocates individual responsibility and liberalism … at only 23 years old, she has already been arrested a thousand times by the authorities, and she was never afraid to challenge presidents. She recently decided to return to Oxford to study new ideas for urban planning that she would like to see applied in Russia.
