The NYTimes has an inspiring story about a man who quit Russia's police force on YouTube by giving a speech denouncing institutionalized corruption and bribe-taking. He was, of course, arrested, farcically charged under a statute designed to protect "state secrets", but was released after the case became an embarrassment. Now he tours Russia giving speeches against corruption, and encouraging ordinary people to bypass the Kremlin-controlled media and share their stories via YouTube. Watch him speak here (with subtitles).
