Description:
<jats:p> For several decades, the disability community in Russia has battled for its rights.

It is written from a mixture of perspectives—personal experience, discussions with activists, and articles—to highlight both the universality of challenges related to disability and the distinctiveness of problems within social systems. </jats:p>
