Description

Fighting for freedom in Russia: President's Lecture Series with Russian dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza


"However strong the dictatorship, when people are prepared to stand up for their freedom, all that strength becomes powerless."
- Vladimir Kara-Murza

One of Russia's most outspoken advocates for democracy and human rights, Vladimir Kara-Murza has been on the front lines of opposition to President Vladimir Putin. Twice poisoned in the past three years, Kara-Murza is unswayed from the fight for freedom and democracy. He was a pallbearer at the September 1 funeral of U.S. Senator John McCain in Washington DC.


In this lecture, he will explore how Russians can bring about democratic change and how the West can best help. His talk will be followed by a discussion with Museum President and CEO John Young and a public question-and-answer session.


Light refreshments will be served.



When: Tuesday, October 30, 2018 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
(Doors open 6:15 p.m.)

Where: Bonnie & John Buhler Hall, Canadian Museum for Human Rights,
85 Israel Asper Way, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada





FAQs

What are my transportation/parking options?

Public parking is available at metered lots around the Museum.

The Museum's Accessible Drop-off Entrance has four parking stalls and brings visitors right to the doors of the Museum. A valid provincial permit must be displayed in the vehicle to park in these stalls. Additional accessible parking can be found along Israel Asper Way.

All Museum entrances are accessible to people using wheeled devices and people who prefer to avoid stairs. The Accessible Drop-off Entrance allows passengers to be dropped off in close proximity to entry doors.

Winnipeg Transit has 33 routes that service The Forks and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. With stops on Main Street just outside Union Station, on William Stephenson Way, and on Israel Asper Way, getting to the Museum by bus couldn’t be easier.

Use Winnipeg Transit’s online trip planner, Navigo, to plan your trip to the Museum.

For cyclists, the Museum has bike racks at the Main Entrance and the Group Entrance.
