Why is Georgia drifting toward authoritarianism? Why is its current government aligning more closely with Russia and blaming its predecessors for Russia's 2008 invasion of Georgia? How are the histories of Ukraine and Georgia deeply intertwined—and why are these two countries key to understanding Eastern Europe? My name is Volodymyr Yermolenko. I am a Ukrainian philosopher, the chief editor of UkraineWorld, and the president of PEN Ukraine. My guest today is Tornike Gordadze, former Georgian State Minister for Euro-Atlantic Integration. He currently teaches at Sciences Po and the Jacques Delors Institute in Paris. We recorded this conversation in Tbilisi during the vibrant Zeg Festival, where both Tornike and I were participants.

"In Washington, there's a new Sheriff in town." Mit diesem Wild-West-Spruch machte JD Vance auf der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz klar, was die Europäer von Trump zu erwarten haben. Und tatsächlich, der US-Präsident lässt keinen Zweifel: Ich bin stark, ich kann machen, was ich will! Den ukrainischen Präsidenten vor laufender Kamera demütigen? Why not! Grönland besetzen, Vertreibungsfantasien für Gaza entwickeln? Aber klar! Die Nationalgarde in Kalifornien am Gouverneur vorbei unter das eigene Kommando stellen? Nichts ist ausgeschlossen. Deal oder Dresche! Die Politik der Rücksichtslosigkeit scheint salonfähig geworden zu sein. Nicht nur in den USA: Russlands Präsident Putin führt Krieg in Europa, Erdogan lässt seinen stärksten politischen Gegner verhaften, Ungarns Regierungschef Orban baut sein autokratisches System aus. Sie alle machen eine Politik der Rücksichtslosen. Muss das sein? Welche Konsequenzen hat das? Und wie sehen andere Wege aus? Darüber wollen wir reden mit Prof. Dr. Jessica Gienow-Hecht vom John-F.-Kennedy-Institut an der FU Berlin, mit dem Psychologen Prof. Dr. Siegfried Preiser, mit dem Kommunikationsexperten Dr. Johannes Hillje und mit dem Politikwissenschaftler Albrecht von Lucke. Podcast-Tipp: SWR Kultur - Das Wissen Die rücksichtslose Gesellschaft Egoismus, eigene Notlagen und gestiegene Belastung durch Krisen können zu aggressivem Verhalten führen.

En 2025, hay países que condenan con pena de muerte o cadena perpetua las relaciones homosexuales. Pero hay países en los que aunque no sea ilegal, tener una una orientación sexual diferente de la que consideran natural implica tener que pagar un precio muy alto en el día a día. Pero del otro lado, el matrimonio igualitario es legal en 37 países miembros de las Naciones Unidas. Y cada año se suman más.Vamos a hablar de ello, de la prohibición de Viktor Orban en Hungría para la celebración de la manifestacion del orgullo y de las dificultades que tienen las personas que necesitan pedir asilo por este motivo.Hablaremos de la situación en la Cisjordania ocupada con los ataques de los colonos que se están incrementando.

Ne parliamo con Sergio Nava, inviato di Radio24 a Bruxelles, Antonio Villafranca, Vicepresidente per la Ricerca di Ispi, e con Francesco Petronella, giornalista, esperto di Medio Oriente di Ispi.

With the world on the brink of another war, there's no one more essential to hear from than Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author of Gulag, Iron Curtain, Red Famine (which cites Andrea's grandfather, a Holodomor survivor), Twilight of Democracy, and Autocracy Inc. In this urgent conversation, we go to the frontlines of authoritarianism, from MAGA's playbook at home to Putin's alliances abroad, from Orban's Hungary to the rising threat of war with Iran. We begin in Poland. In 2023, a broad democratic coalition ousted the far-right, anti-LGBTQ+ Law and Justice party, which had spent years eroding democratic institutions. But in a razor-thin presidential race this year, that same authoritarian force clawed its way back. The takeaway? Democracy isn't a destination. It's a constant, high-stakes battle. “Everybody always wants to write the story of populism and say that it's over, or it's here for good, or we're finished, or we've won. And that's not what the story is going to look like,” says Applebaum. “This is the ongoing struggle that all of us will be in, probably for the next few decades, maybe into the foreseeable future. The argument about the nature of the state is now here with us. And neither one side nor the other has achieved a definitive victory, I would say, either in Europe or in the United States.” Then, Iran. Trump launched airstrikes without congressional approval or public debate, risking another U.S. war. Many in the Iranian opposition welcome blows to the brutal regime, but without strategy or legality, this is more of Trump's lawless chaos. Meanwhile, Putin watches. His alliance with Iran is not ideological, but tactical, with one shared mission: destabilize democracies and sow chaos worldwide. Applebaum discusses how Hungary became the MAGA model, what Poland's resistance can teach the U.S., and why the fight for democracy is far from over. This isn't a time for hope alone. It's a time to act. Because autocracy isn't resting. And neither can we. Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Der Fall Maja T. sorgt für Aufsehen. Das zeigt allein schon eine Störaktion im Sächsischen Landtag an diesem Mittwoch, als während einer Rede von Ministerpräsident Kretschmer etwa 15 Personen lautstark „Free Maja“ von der Zuschauertribüne rufen. Der Fall ist allerdings inzwischen nicht mehr nur eine sächsische, sondern eine europäische Angelegenheit – mit vielen Facetten: juristische, politische, gesellschaftliche und auch höchst menschliche. Es geht um Maja T., eine non-binäre Person aus Jena. Bis Sommer 2024 saß sie in Dresden in Haft, ihre Auslieferung nach Ungarn wurde vom Bundesverfassungsgericht rückwirkend für rechtswidrig erklärt. Seit Februar dieses Jahres steht Maja T. dort vor Gericht. Sie soll an zwei brutalen Attacken auf Neonazis in der ungarischen Hauptstadt Budapest beteiligt gewesen sein. Es drohen ihr bis zu 24 Jahre Haft. Besonders im Fokus ist dieser Prozess aktuell, weil Maja T. über extreme Haftbedingungen klagt – und sich bereits seit Anfang Juni in einem Hungerstreik befindet. In dieser Folge des Podcasts „Thema in Sachsen“ schildern die Reporterinnen Denise Peikert und Antonie Rietzschel die Hintergründe und analysieren, was dieser Fall über den Umgang mit Extremismus von links wie rechts in Deutschland und Europa zeigt. Der Fall, das wird schnell klar, ist sehr komplex. Es stellen sich viele Fragen: Angefangen damit, wieso Maja T. überhaupt in Ungarn ist. Die Reporterinnen blicken zurück auf die Auslieferung, die vor reichlich einem Jahr stattfand und einer „Nacht- und Nebelaktion“ geglichen habe. Zudem bewerten sie die Chancen auf eine Rückführung von Maja T. und beschreiben, wie in Deutschland der politische Druck in dieser Angelegenheit wächst. Schließlich dreht sich der Podcast aber auch um die zentrale Frage: Wie weit darf der Kampf gegen Rechtsextremismus eigentlich gehen? Denn es stehen schwere Vorwürfe im Raum: Maja T. soll an brutalen, mutmaßlich linksextremistisch motivierten Taten beteiligt gewesen sein. Peikert und Rietzschel ordnen ein – und beschreiben dabei, welche Verbindungen es zwischen Maja T. und der vor zwei Jahren am Oberlandesgericht Dresden verurteilten Leipziger Linksextremistin Lina E. gibt.
We noemen het zelf de officiële aftrap van de NAVO-top. De derde Perestrojkast Live ging maandagavond over Oost-Europa in de NAVO vanuit Nieuwspoort, Den Haag, de stad waar dinsdag en woensdag de NAVO-top plaatsvindt. Als de wereldleiders slim zijn, luisteren ze naar deze 269e aflevering, gebaseerd op de live-uitzending. En niet alleen om de twee geestige moppen van Joost Bosman die vanuit Tbilisi was overgevlogen. Met Joost en historicus en schrijver Ivo van de Wijdeven (van onder meer De macht van het verleden en Alle rafelranden van Europa) doken we maandag in op de vraag: wat hebben onze landen te zoeken in NAVO? En dan met name de opstandige premiers Fico van Slowakije en Orban van Hongarije die als NAVO-lid graag aanpappen met Rusland. Hoe valt hun NAVO-lidmaatschap te rijmen met hun bezoeken aan Poetin? Ook Polen komt voorbij. Warschau heeft een andere kijk op Rusland en zijn NAVO-lidmaatschap. Ivo is tevens bij ons aangeschoven om de moeder der discussies voorgoed te beslechten. Want wat hebben het Westen en Rusland nou afgesproken over de NAVO-uitbreiding naar Oost-Europa? Ivo legt het uit. Poetin heeft daar zo zijn eigen, persoonlijke, kijk op, vertelt Joost die ook diept uit zijn Russische contacten en de Russische omsingelingsmythe weerlegt. De 269e aflevering is een ingekorte versie van de Perestrojkast Live. Waarin we publieksvragen beantwoordden, een quiz deden en nog veel meer. Die ontbreken bij de ingekorte versie.

Did betrayal doom Constantinople in 1453, or was its fall an inevitable clash of empires? In this insightful episode of the Jeremy Ryan Slate Show, we take a deep dive into one of history's most pivotal moments—the fall of Constantinople. Was it Ottoman military might, or did secret deals, economic collapse, and betrayal play a bigger role? This critical examination unpacks hidden agendas, uncovering the conspiracies and greed that may have sealed the city's fate.Join me, Jeremy Ryan Slate—CEO of Command Your Brand—as we explore the rise of the Ottoman Empire, the crumbling Byzantine defenses, and the whispers of sabotage that still fuel debates among historians. From the unlocked Kirkaporta gate to Orban's massive cannons, this must-watch episode delivers a unique perspective on how trust and unity—or their absence—can shape the destiny of nations.What lessons can we draw from Constantinople's fall for our own times? With global trade wars and shifting alliances, the parallels to today are striking. Don't miss this engaging discussion that connects history to the present.

L'invité de 7h50. Ce vendredi, Thomas de Bergeyck reçoit la romancière française Christine Orban. Elle vient nous parler de son dernier ouvrage, « Mademoiselle Spencer » sorti chez Albin Michel. La vie de Diana racontée par Diana elle-même. Ou presque. Christine Orban s'est glissée dans sa peau pour relater, de la façon la plus réaliste possible, la vie trop courte qu'elle a vécu jusqu'au drame de l'Alma. Elle voulait enfin faire parler celle qui n'a jamais pu le faire de son vivant, pour raconter ce qu'était vraiment sa vie de princesse choisie, de faiseuse de rois et de grande boulimique. Un roman déroutant de vérité, mais forcément empreint d'accents fictionnels.
Harry, Steven and Luca look at Orban's defence of Europe, ending the Mexican's Reconquista, and Labour's betrayal over Gibraltar. Get Our Course here: https://courses.lotuseaters.com/bundles/the-trivium

Sacrifiée sur l'autel de la monarchie, Lady Di finira malgré tout par se libérer de ses chaînes.

Het is ‘Schover': het kabinet-Schoof is gevallen. PVV-leider Geert Wilders stapt uit de coalitie, waarmee het einde van het kabinet een feit is. Wat betekent dit voor Brussel, de NAVO-top, en kan Dick Schoof nu wél instemmen met een NAVO-norm van 5 procent? Verder spreken we EU-correspondent Saskia Dekkers over dwarsligger Hongarije. De rechtsstaat staat er onder druk, Prides zijn verboden, en de Europese Commissie overweegt maatregelen. Kan Hongarije nog in de EU blijven? De Europese Commissie heeft gezegd dat ze bereid zijn om ‘maatregelen te nemen'. Wat kunnen zij doen? En kunnen we Hongarije niet dumpen uit de EU? Daarnaast aandacht voor de verkiezingsuitslag in Polen en ons date-experiment ‘Europa Date Door'.

You've probably heard that authoritarianism is on the rise across the globe. Increasingly, countries are adopting policies that undermine democracy, reduce accountability, and erode civil liberties and human rights. But why is authoritarianism on the rise, and how do authoritarian leaders come to power? Lauded by Donald Trump and condemned by rights-defenders, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban provides a useful case study for those hoping to better understand the authoritarians' playbook. This week, host Ngofeen Mputubwele speaks to a Hungarian journalist and civil liberties strategist to map Orban's journey to autocracy, and how his lurch towards authoritarianism has decimated civil liberties and allowed him to exert a stranglehold on Hungarian politics for more than 15 years.

Krisztian Marton is 35, schrijver, homo en Hongaars. Zijn autobiografische roman werd onlangs uit de handel gehaald vanwege een nieuwe anti-homowet van de regering-Orban. Aan podcast De Dag vertelt hij hoe het is om gay te zijn in Hongarije en waarom hij zich ondanks mogelijke zware repercussies toch uitspreekt en opkomt voor homorechten in zijn land. Juni is pride-maand: op allerlei plekken in de wereld wordt aandacht besteed aan de positie, emancipatie en acceptatie van de regenboog-gemeenschap. De rechten van de LHBTQI-gemeenschap staan op steeds meer plekken onder druk. In Hongarije is dat al langer het geval, maar nieuwe wetten zijn reden tot grote zorg. Nederland leidt daarom in Europa ook nieuw verzet tegen de wetten in Hongarije en een meerderheid van de Tweede Kamer wil dat kabinetsleden naar de Pride in Boedapest gaan op 28 juni.

Puterea și opoziția folosesc războiul de spionaj dintre Ucraina și Ungaria în interes propriu, scriu jurnaliștii maghiari. După ce ministrul apărării de la Budapesta a fost înregistrat vorbind despre renunțarea la pacifism și îndreptarea spre război, Ucraina a spus că a arestat spioni ai armatei maghiare. Aceștia strângeau informații, susține Kievul, pentru o posibilă invadare a regiunii Transcarpatia. Partidul de opoziție maghiar Tisza acuză guvernul Orban că vrea să înceapă o invazie, în timp ce Fidesz spune că opoziția și Ucraina complotează să-l dea jos de la putere pe premier. Războiul de spionaj dintre Ucraina și Ungaria este o sabie cu două tăișuri pentru câștig politic, titrează, telex.hu.„Guvernul vrea să conducă Ungaria la război, iar partidul Tisza vrea să-l răstoarne pe Viktor Orbán în colaborare cu serviciile secrete ucrainene. Pe baza evenimentelor din ultimele zile, aceste două narațiuni concurente ies la iveală din comunicarea politică dintre Fidesz și adversarul său Tisza, deși este prea devreme să spunem care actor politic va fi mai iritat de rezultatul final al jocurilor de spionaj dintre Ungaria și Ucraina.La începutul lunii trecute, liderul partidului Tisza, Péter Magyar, a publicat o înregistrare audio în care ministrul apărării declara că guvernul a decis să rupă cu mentalitatea pacifistă anterioară și să treacă la „faza zero a drumului spre război”.Fidesz a încercat să prezinte remarcile ministrului ca pe o chestiune banală, susținând că nu este nimic nou în ele, scriu jurnaliștii. Dar a doua zi, un eveniment a dat un nou impuls problemei: Ucraina a anunțat capturarea unor spioni care lucrau pentru serviciile secrete militare maghiare. Potrivit Kievului, aceștia colectaseră și date care sugerau că guvernul maghiar ar putea plănui o invazie militară a regiunii Transcarpatia.Fidesz a dat rapid vina pe partidul Tisza pentru afacerea de spionaj.Până în prezent, nu există dovezi credibile care să susțină afirmația ucrainenilor (că guvernul maghiar plănuise să trimită trupe în Transcarpatia) sau a afirmației guvernului maghiar (că partidul Tisza și serviciile secrete ucrainene complotează împreună. În același timp, este în interesul ambelor partide să răspândească această poveste, departe de a fi clară, în propriile scopuri politice, conchide publicația maghiară.În ciuda condamnărilor internaționale, Ungaria avansează cu Legea privind transparența în viața publicăPartidul politic Fidesz dorește să înăsprească și mai mult legea privind transparența în viața publică din Ungaria, citim în index.hu. Prim-ministrul Viktor Orbán a descris proiectul anterior drept o „curățenie de primăvară”. Mai multe instituții europene au cerut deja autorităților maghiare să nu voteze această lege care va îngrădi dreptul la liberă exprimare și va face aproape imposibilă funcționarea ONG-urilor.Membrii partidului de guvernământ din Ungaria au mers înainte și au depus amendamentele la proiectul de lege la Comisia pentru Afaceri Juridice a Adunării Naționale.Conform textului, legea își propune să stabilească o listă de organizații finanțate din străinătate considerate a amenința suveranitatea Ungariei. Odată incluse în acest registru, aceste organizații nu vor mai putea primi finanțare străină fără autorizație, nu vor mai fi eligibile pentru scutiri de impozit pe venit, iar liderii lor vor trebui să furnizeze o declarație de avere, rămânând în același timp considerați personalități publice de rang înalt.Exercițiu NATO în Slovacia. Forțe georgiene au participat ca observatori„Forțele Armate ale Republicii Slovace trebuie să fie dotate cu cea mai modernă tehnologie disponibilă,” a declarat președintele Peter Pellegrini cu ocazia exercițiului militar internațional sub comandă NATO, Slovak Shield 2025, care a avut loc în luna mai.„Șeful statului a lăudat buna desfășurare a exercițiului și nivelul ridicat de profesionalism al organizării acestuia, relatează spravy.pravda.sk. „Peste o mie de membri ai Forțelor Armate Slovace și unități militare din Republica Cehă, Ungaria, Polonia, Garda Națională sin Indiana (SUA), membri ai brigăzii multinaționale care operează pe teritoriul nostru și observatori din Georgia participă la exercițiu”, a declarat serviciul de presă al Oficiului Președintelui Republicii Slovace.Exercițiul a verificat utilizarea procedurilor și tehnologiilor nou introduse în cadrul Forțelor Armate Slovace, cu scopul de a le integra eficient în practică. „Vedem că experiența conflictului armat din Ucraina schimbă fundamental modul în care gândim și concepem conflictele viitoare. Trebuie să ne adaptăm și să ne pregătim forțele armate în consecință”, a spus Peter Pellegrini.

President Trump's approval rating has fallen to near-historic lows. With economic disruption from the tariffs likely to hit next month, his numbers will probably get even worse; this administration could reach unprecedented levels of unpopularity. If I were a far-right populist, I would be thinking hard about a strategy to prevent the blowback from crippling the movement. Such a strategy is easy to come by. Anger over DOGE and deportations has a natural floor. If Trump's base starts abandoning him, it will be because of the tariffs. But tariffs aren't a load-bearing part of the MAGA platform. Other right-populist leaders like Orban, Bukele, and Modi show no interest in them. They seem an idiosyncratic obsession of Trump's, a cost that the rest of the movement pays to keep him around. So, (our hypothetical populist strategist might start thinking after Trump's approval hits the ocean trenches and starts drilling) - whatever. MAGA minus Trump's personal idiosyncrasies can remain a viable platform. You don't even have to exert any effort to make it happen. Trump will retire in 2028 and pass the torch to Vance. And although Vance supports tariffs now, that's only because he's a spineless toady. After Trump leaves the picture, Vance will gain thirty IQ points, make an eloquent speech about how tariffs were the right tool for the mid-2020s but no longer, and the problem will solve itself. Right? Don't let them get away with this. Although it's true that tariffs owe as much to Trump's idiosyncrasies as to the inexorable logic of right-wing populism, the ability of a President to hold the nation hostage to his own idiosyncrasies is itself a consequence of populist ideology. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-populist-right-must-own-tariffs

Edition No141 | 10-05-2025 - World leaders attending the military parade in Moscow to mark the end of the second world war bring shame on themselves and their countries. This is what Donald Tusk of Poland said, and I completely concur. Shaking hands with, embracing, and even normalising a blood-thirsty tyrant and killer, and one that is actively engaged in a war with genocidal characteristics against its neighbour and former colonial subject is revolting, despicable, morally bankrupt. Tusk says this after Slovak prime minister Robert Fico became the only European Union leader to attend. Orban was perhaps too concerning about the fragile political situation in Hungary, in case once he left the country he couldn't return. And the home for involuntarily retired dictators and Kremlin puppets in Moscow is becoming a little overcrowded at present. “I try not to comment on the decisions and behaviour of leaders of states, especially from our community,” Tusk told a news conference. “But there is no doubt that being at the victory parade in Moscow and applauding President Putin … brings shame to everyone who is there.”----------Links: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly3807exynohttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/05/09/russia-victory-day-putin-ukraine/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/05/09/russia-ukraine-zelensky-putin-war-latest-news529/https://www.nbcnews.com/world/europe/russia-parade-world-war-ii-putin-china-xi-trade-deal-tariffs-rcna205534https://www.aa.com.tr/en/world/zelenskyy-calls-upcoming-victory-day-parade-in-moscow-parade-of-cynicism-/3560667https://kyivindependent.com/death-regiment-counters-russias-victory-day-celebrations-in-many-protests/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/vladimir-putin-nazi-germany-kremlin-ukraine-russia-b2746910.html----------Your support is massively appreciated!

Manu and Stefan were back for the Bundesliga preview show (a day late due to travel), and there's plenty to unpack. Here's your weekly conversation-style recap from the pod: Bayern on the Brink (Without Kane) Manu: “This could be it — if Bayern beat Leipzig, they win the title.” Stefan: “And Harry Kane won't be on the pitch, which just writes its own jokes.” Still, Kane and Eric Dier will get their first career trophies if Bayern wrap it up. Stefan joked Dier could do a John Terry and show up in full kit at full-time. Stefan: “Bayern won't delay the title for sentimental reasons. They'll get it done.” Both agree this season's been mixed for Bayern, but Kompany has done the job that matters: reclaiming the Bundesliga title. Leipzig's Squeaky-Bum Time Manu: “This game is massive for Leipzig. If they don't get a result, Champions League football could be gone.” Stefan: “They're up against it. Orban and Gulácsi are out. Without them, they're hopeless.” Leipzig are under pressure from Dortmund and Freiburg. Without Champions League qualification, they may need to sell key players like Xavi Simons. Stefan: “They've been sleepwalking for years. Leverkusen's rise is forcing them to wake up.” Manu: “The issue isn't ambition. It's their failure to find the right formula.” The coaching situation is also in focus. Manu and Stefan suggest Leipzig need to make a bold hire — maybe Sandro Wagner or Cesc Fàbregas. Freiburg's Big Chance Manu: “If Freiburg beat Leverkusen and Leipzig lose, the door to the Champions League really opens.” Stefan: “Julian Schuster has actually improved on Streich's work.” Freiburg are two points ahead of Leipzig. Despite struggling against top-four teams this season, they have a chance to change that now. Stefan: “They need to break the curse. If you want to be top four, you have to beat top-four clubs.” They've signed a replacement for Ritsu Doan and could have Noah Atubolu back in goal — a major boost. Manu also explained why Freiburg shouldn't be considered a small club anymore. Manu: “Freiburg's greater metro area is bigger than Dortmund. They're a sleeping giant with real infrastructure now.”
The first 100 days of Trump's second term have come to an end… so, what comes next? Overseas, Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has transformed his country into electoral autocracy using tactics that bear a striking resemblance to those currently playing out in Trump's America. To close out the Trumpland series, MSNBC's Alex Wagner travels to Hungary and speaks with lawyers, journalists, politicians, and advocates on the ground who offer important lessons for America while they continue to fight for democracy in their own country.

Viktor Orban is in his fourth consecutive term as Prime Minister of Hungary. In that time, he has dismantled democratic checks and balances, taken control of the country's media, civil society and universities, and consolidated power in him and his Fidesz party. NPR's Rob Schmitz looks at how Orban's step-by-step dismantling of Hungary's democracy has become a point of fascination for political scientists around the world, including those advising the Trump administration.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Romania made headlines—and shocked the world—when it annulled a presidential election at the end of last year, citing evidence of foreign interference aimed at supporting a pro-Russian far-right candidate. It was a bold and necessary move, one that stands in stark contrast to what the U.S. should have done—and is now facing the consequences for not doing. But why would Romania take such a decisive stand? The answer lies in its history. Romania's Moscow-backed dictatorship was among the most brutal behind the Iron Curtain, a painful past that still unites much of the country today. In this week's episode, we delve into Romania's complex history, weaving in a personal story from Andrea's own family. Her father-in-law, Mihai Victor Serdaru, a medical student in 1956 Bucharest, attempted to lead a student protest in solidarity with the Hungarian Uprising next door. To help make sense of her years of research, Andrea turned to Dr. Corina Snitar, a historian and Lecturer in Central and Eastern European Studies at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. Dr. Snitar is the author of Opposition, Repression, and Cold War: The 1956 Student Movement in Timișoara and contributed the chapter Women's Experiences of 1956: Student Protesters and Partisans in Romania to the book Women's Experiences of Repression in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The discussion of how to topple a dictator will continue in this week's bonus show for our Patreon community, where we'll dive into a lively book club salon for political scientist Gene Sharp's revolutionary handbook, From Dictatorship to Democracy. Sharp's work has inspired liberation movements worldwide, and we'll explore its urgent lessons for us today. Look for that on Friday. A huge thank you to everyone who supports the show.
