Moskalyova Marija

A Russian student and the creator of an anti-war drawing that went viral worldwide in 2022. Instead of supporting the Russian army, she drew a Ukrainian mother and child at school being targeted by Russian missiles. She was taken away from her father, who was subsequently convicted of discrediting the army. Following his release, they both left Russia and now live in France. Marija runs the YouTube channel WE TALK, where she pulls no punches against the Russian regime and draws attention to the crimes being committed in Ukraine. Both she and her father became laureates of the 2026 Magnitsky Human Rights Award in the "Courage Under Fire" category.
