Why has denunciation — the act of reporting neighbors, coworkers, even family — returned in modern Russia? In this episode, Elvira Bary examines the historical roots of snitching, the psychological forces behind it, and the political system that now rewards it. From Stalin-era terror to today’s “professional informants,” denunciations reveal how fear shapes society, how authoritarian regimes maintain control, and why this culture is resurfacing as the war in Ukraine reshapes life inside Russia. This is the hidden mechanism powering repression — and a warning for any society that begins to normalize suspicion.
