Nadezhda Tylik

unknown

Nadezhda Tylik is the mother of a sailor who tragically died in the Kursk submarine disaster. She became a symbol of the families' grief and outrage over the Russian government's handling of the incident, famously confronting officials during a press conference, where she was forcibly sedated and removed from the scene, an event that was broadcast live and underscored the regime's authoritarian response to public dissent.
