At the present time, most Russians living abroad face various problems related to unfair and aggressive attitudes towards them, members of their family, and other factors. What can young lawyers do to get involved to support and protect the rights of their compatriots? What legal tools can be used to counteract chauvinism directed against Russians? This session will also address the participation of young professionals in the international humanitarian project ‘For the Rights of Compatriots’, which aims to provide comprehensive legal and psychological support to our fellow citizens and compatriots who have been subjected to various forms of discrimination.
