Litvinov ’86 Talks Intergenerational Activist Roots: Part One – The Wesleyan Argus

For Russian-born Greenpeace International activist Dima Litvinov ’86, political dissidence seems to run in the family. Carrying on the torch from the Czarist regime at the turn of the 19th century to Russia today, Dima belongs to the fourth generation of his family that has been imprisoned for anti-governmental policy activities. Over a series of interviews at the Greenpeace offices in his home of Stockholm, the University alumnus told The Argus about his life story, his experiences as an environmental activist, and the necessity of peaceful protest under the current rise of nationalism worldwide.
