Zes gesprekken over de (on)overbrugbare kloof tussen oost en west. Met zes nationale én internationale gasten. Over de verhoudingen in Europa, die door de Russische oorlog in Oekraïne op z'n kop gezet. Met als derde Perestroj-gast: schrijver Sana Valiulina, opgegroeid Estland, gestudeerd in Moskou en in 1989 vertrokken naar Nederland. "Europa, word wakker." De Russische oorlog in Oekraïne bevindt zich op een belangrijk ijkpunt, zegt Valiulina, nu er oorlogsmoeheid  in Europa optreedt en West-Europa toch denkt aan de portemonee van de burgers. Het is opnieuw de kloof tussen Oost- West-Europa die zich toch weer opent. "Juist nu moeten de regeringen van Europese landen heel goed aan hun bevolking duidelijk moeten maken om echt door te zetten om Oekraïne te steunen."  In dit gesprek praten Geert Jan en Floris met Sana Valiulina over de rol van haar vader in haar leven, de relaties binnen Europa, de Russische dreiging voor Estland, waarom ze vertrok naar het Westen koos en of je wel moet praten met Vladimir Poetin. Het Westen had beter kunnen weten. Áls het had geluisterd naar Toomas Hendrik Ilves. De president van Estland van 2006 tot en met 2016 waarschuwde het Westen  voor Poetin en zijn imperialistische ambities. Maar Berlijn, Parijs en Den Haag luisterden niet  "Je kunt de Russen niet vertrouwen", meent Valiulina. "Poetin komt uit de veiligheidsdienst. Eens een KGB'er, altijd een KGB'er." Het waren economische belangen, desinteresse en fixatie op de Verenigde Staten die  West-Europa de ogen deden sluiten voor wat er in Rusland gebeurde, stelt Valiulina vast. Valiulina, opgegroeid in de Sovjet-Unie, in Estland, keek altijd al naar het Westen. Dat werd haar door haar vader op het hart gedrukt. Als krijgsgevangene tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog belandde hij in Frankrijk en Engeland om later gedwongen terug te keren naar de Sovjet-Unie. Hij nam zijn Westerse indrukken mee en bracht die over op zijn dochter.  Ze zag de Russische invasie niet aankomen en sindsdien leeft Valiulina tussen hoop en vrees. "Mijn geestestoestand is vrij wankelmoedig." Sana Valiulina (1946) schreef onder andere Didar en Faroek, Kinderen van Brezjnev en het essay Wortel en tak. Je kunt haar boeken hier bestellen. Dit jaar kwam de documentaire Turn your Body to the Sun van Aliona van der Horst uit. Hierin gaat Valiulina op zoek naar het noodlot van haar vader tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Je kunt de film via deze link bekijken. In zes afleveringen gaan Floris Akkerman en Geert Jan Hahn op zoek naar De Kloof tussen Oost- en West-Europa. Deze zomerserie van de Perestrojkast is naast de standaard podcast óók te beluisteren op FM: elke woensdagavond om 19:00 uur komt een nieuwe aflevering online. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We discuss why this was the case – and whether western Europe is still underestimating Vladimir Putin.

“Eiropa pret Ukrainu agrāk izturējusies līdzīgi Kremlim - kā pret Krievijas provinci,” tā raksta mūsu raidījuma viesis. Vai Eiropas solidaritāte un atbalsts tagad ir pietiekams? Šīs nedēļas raidījuma "Viens pret vienu" viesis - Igaunijas prezidents (2006-2016) Tomass Hendriks Ilvess. --- "Europe has treated the Kremlin like a Russian province in the past," says a guest of our program.

This week's episode goes back a decade and a half to the 2007 cyberattacks on Estonia--and brings the conversation to today, both with lessons we can learn from the country's digitalization and information security awareness and with discussion of how Russia's earlier aggression previewed its recent invasion of Ukraine.Toomas Hendrik Ilves served as Estonia's Ambassador to the United States, Canada, and Mexico and then its Foreign Minister (twice) before becoming the country's president in 2006. During the first of his two five-year terms in that office, Estonia suffered a wave of Russian or Russian-backed cyberattacks that shut down much of the highly online country. But Estonia recovered quickly, using the crisis as an opportunity to speed up its already advanced digitization and to expand its cyber education efforts.David Priess spoke with Ilves about his parents' experience fleeing wartime Estonia as Russians started mass deportations to Siberia, his education and early exposure to coding in 1971, the cyberattacks of 2007, how the government and society responded, how others in Europe reacted to this and other Russian provocations, Estonian education and E-government initiatives, and why the new Russian invasion of Ukraine has (so far) lacked a major cyber warfare element.

Eesti inimõiguste keskus hakkas sellest nädalast pakkuma tasuta nõustamist andmekaitse vallas. Miks on ühiskonnas selle järgi vajadus? „See on otseselt inimõigustega seotud valdkond,“ kõneleb keskuse digiõiguste ja andmekaitse valdkonna jurist Mari-Liis Vähi. „Andmed on ikkagi osa meie identiteedist ja privaatsusest.“ Ta toob näitena tööandja, kes võib tunda huvi sinu poliitiliste vaadete vastu ja lähtuvalt sellest näiteks valida, keda koondada. Aga poliitilised eelistused ei tohiks olla üldse tema asi. Vähi sõnul tuleks oma andmeid kaitsta sisuliselt igaühe eest: „See võib olla sinu uudishimulik naaber, endine elukaaslane, kiuslik klassikaaslane kui ka pahatahtlik häkker, küberkurjategija, kes soovib su krediitkaardiandmeid,“ hoiatab ta võimaluse eest, et abstraktsete bittide ja baitide taga seisavad konkreetsed eurod. Sel nädalal oli kõigil meelel ka Facebook – mitte üksnes oma kuuetunnise katkestuse pärast, vaid USA senati ees andis tunnistusi ka lokulööja Frances Haugen, kes hoiatas sotsiaalmeedia kahjuliku mõju eest ühiskondadele. Vähi tõstab esile, et ega me nende platvormide puhul pole suutelised isegi kontrollima, kas see, kuidas nad meie andmeid töötlevad, on üldse õiguspärane. Riike saab vähemalt juhtida läbi kohtute. Nii nagu tegi nüüd riigikohus otsuse, mis keelas sideandmete laussäilitamise. Vähi sõnul tulebki teinekord riiki kunstlikult tekitada, et ta liiga efektiivseks ning seega ohtlikuks ei muutuks. „Kuigi mugavus ja edulugu on olulised ja edendavad meie elu, peab privaatsuse ning andmete kaitseks olema teinekord ka tehislikult ebamugav,“ sõnas ta. Saates veel Meil on näiteks president Toomas Hendrik Ilves korduvalt öelnud, et mis te muretsete valituste nuhkimise pärast, kui ise sotsiaalvõrgustikele kõik ära annate. Kui adekvaatne selline suhtumine on? Miks peaks olema näiteks näopiltide lekkimise pärast mures inimene, kel midagi varjata pole? Kas ka Eesti riik tahab teada liiga palju?

In this Relay Chain exclusive, Joe Petrowski (Technical Integrations Lead at Web3 Foundation) and Parity's Úrsula O'Kuinghttons speak with former President of Estonia Toomas Hendrik Ilves. Uniquely placed as one of few presidents who knows how to code, Ilves was responsible for implementing the digitization of the Estonian government, one of the first countries to adopt blockchain tech, and many other processes in the country from voting to registering a business. They discuss how Estonia, one of the smallest countries in the world, became one of the most entrepreneurial and tech-savvy, what led Estonia to go ‘digital', declare access to the internet as a basic human right, and mediate data integrity for their digital records via blockchain. Ilves talks about his concerns for the internet given its weaponization and populist exploitation, the problematic state of freedom of expression and accountability online, and governance of online communities beyond nation-states.

Nädalavahetusel täienes taas teadmine ühe veriselt lõppenud ja kinnitatud Vene sõjaväeluure GRU Euroopas toime pandud operatsiooni kohta. Tšehhi valitsus avalikustas mustvalgel, et 2014. aastal riigi idaosas asunud laskemoonalao õhku lendamise juhtumiga seostatakse nimeliselt ja otseselt kaht GRU ohvitseri, kes 2018. aastal seoti suurbritannia valitsuse poolt Salisbury toime pandud Sergei ja Julia Skripali mürgitamisega. Delfi „Erisaates“ aitab muuhulgas Vene luuretegevust jälgiv rahvusvahelise kaitseuuringute keskuse teadur Ivo Juurvee lahti harutada küsimusi, mida me veel teame GRU üksusest 29155 tegevusest NATO, EL-i ja muude riikide territooriumil ning kuidas sellele vastu saab astuda. Kas tõesti tuleks piirid Venemaaga kinni panna, nagu soovitas endine president Toomas Hendrik Ilves. Saatejuht on Raimo Poom.

From Claire—We rounded up our favorite people from the former Soviet satellite states to discuss Russia, and as you might imagine, none of them are amused. Vladislav Davidzon—Scott Abel, Estonia's former president, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, reinforces the Estonian contingent from his lonely farmhouse in the Estonian countryside and Jon from Vienna.We ask just what, exactly, Putin thinks he's doing. He's now sent tanks, troops and long-range guns to loom, thuggishly, on Ukraine's borders and in its stolen territories. Why? He couldn't seriously be planning to gnaw off another chunk of Ukraine, could he? His last meal has been giving him serious indigestion. Is he testing to see what the EU will do? (The EU has already made it clear it is eager to beclown itself, as Toomas notes.)Is this a test of the new US administration? Is Moscow angling to get control over the Crimean water supply? Or is Putin just keen to make of himself the maximum possible nuisance to any adult in the world who is trying to accomplish anything useful or constructive?Tune in to find out! Thanks for listening,Claire and the Cosmopolitan Globalists

Welcome to the Cosmopartycast...We marvel at the weirdness of China's recent diplomatic self-sabotage. We drink. We ask what Macron's thinking about Russia. We wonder just who actually believes it. Does he? We gossip about Germany. We gossip about the Atlantic Council. We wander around looking for popcorn. We ask if the United States is really so broke that it should sacrifice Estonia. We miss smoking.Vivek Kelkar weighs in from Mumbai. Jon Nighswander from Vienna. Rachel Motte from Houston. Owen Lewis from Alberta. Akshaya Jose from Paris—me, too, of course. Toomas Hendrik Ilves from Estonia. (We don't know where in Estonia he is, exactly, but we understand it involves a promising herd of moose.)

Hosted by Terry McDonald Facebook: @TLUPODCAST Instagram: @tlupodcast Twitter: PodcastTallinn

In his address to the IIEA, Mr Ilves discusses security and democracy in the digital era. Mr Ilves outlines the threats, dangers and the imperatives for defending against these challenges. Mr Ilves also discusses the role of the European Union, which he argues is a structure better suited to confront these challenges than a nation-state based approach, particularly for Europe's smaller nation-states. This is the second event in an IIEA project entitled Europe's Digital Future, which is exploring the topic of ‘digital sovereignty' in Europe. As part of this project, which is supported by Google, a year-long programme of events and research is exploring what this concept means, and what future it might herald for the EU and for small, open economies like Ireland. About the speaker: Toomas Hendrik Ilves is a former president of Estonia (2006-2016) and widely known for promoting the digitisation of Estonia's government. Mr Ilves previously served as vice-president of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament (2004-2006), foreign minister of Estonia (1996-2002) and Estonia's first post-independence ambassador to the U.S. Mr Ilves has served as chairman of the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on Cyber Security. He is a member of the Kofi Annan Foundation's Global Commission on Elections and Democracy in the Digital Age. Mr Ilves is also a Commissioner of the Transatlantic Commission on Election Integrity in the Alliance of Democracies Foundation.

Recent elections in the US and in other countries raised a lot of claims that election results might be manipulated. Our CyberConf2020, to be held online on 24 November, dives deep into the topic of how to secure elections in the digital era. In today's Digital Government Podcast, Mr Toomas Hendrik Ilves, former President of Estonia and a speaker at the conference, sheds light on the ways countries are struggling with the integrity and trustworthiness of elections. Tune in! 

Russia develops new tools for political warfare in the 21st century, making Estonia and Ukraine victims of a new kind of combat - cyberwarfare - and laying the groundwork for an attack against the United States in 2016.

What can we do to foster eGovernment and Cyber-Defense in Europe? Toomas Hendrik Ilves, the Former President of Estonia, invited Daniel Fürg to Stanford to talk about his personal perspective on this question.

Estonia, a tiny Baltic state, was hit by a giant shockwave in March when a political party promoting white supremacist views won nearly 18 percent of the vote in a general election. A second shockwave hit when Jüri Ratas, the leader of the liberal-left Centre Party, invited the party, called EKRE, to form a coalition government. The powerful interior and finance ministries went to two EKRE leaders, Mart Helme and son Martin Helme; the family double act excels in racism, sexism and homophobia, and their followers spread the alt-right conspiracy theory that immigrant invaders are replacing so-called true Europeans. Last month, fascism defender Jaak Madison became the first EKRE representative to win a seat at the European Parliament. EKRE now has a strong role representing Estonia on the international stage where it threatens the country's carefully nurtured image as an advanced and open society that teems with startups and digital services. With a rather different Estonia emerging — an Estonia where the kind of accommodation that allowed EKRE into government has echoes with the rise of fascism in the 1930s — we travel to the capital Tallinn to hear from people who have taken a stand. Ahto Lobjakas is a former Brussels correspondent whose outspoken commentary at home frequently made him a government opponent. He is now more like an enemy of the state amid creeping censorship and threats to his personal safety. A former president of the country, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, is among those who have come to Lobjakas’ defence. We also talk to two leaders of anti-EKRE protest movements. Kristi Roost helped start the online campaign Kõigi Eesti this year with the goal of preserving Estonia as a respectful and inclusive country. A core group, including Silver Tambur, the co-founder of online magazine Estonian World, has grown to 27,000 members. Click here for Kõigi Eesti's video. Maris Hellrand, a civil society activist and journalist, takes a more direct approach by leading street protests outside Estonia’s seat of government, Stenbock House. She also has helped turn the tables on EKRE by promoting a lapel pin displaying “pink spittle,” which is one of EKRE’s epithets for their opponents. Neither movement was able to stop EKRE from joining the government or the European Parliament. But they are run by determined and imaginative campaigners. To start the show, we check in with Cas Mudde, a Dutch political scientist renowned for his work on populism and the radical right. Mudde offers some general thoughts on EKRE and on whether Moscow may have had a role in its rise, as was the case for some other far-right movements in Europe.

Recorded on June 22nd, 2018 At the Copenhagen Democracy Summit, Peter Robinson moderated a panel discussion featuring prominent politicians from some of the world’s leading democracies as they discussed why democracy is declining around the world and what the prospects for democracy are in the future. They discussed how we can build friendships that will support our ambition of bringing together an international alliance of democracies for a freer and more prosperous world. Participants include José María Aznar, former Prime Minister of Spain; Felipe Calderón, former President of Mexico; Nick Clegg, former Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom; Stephen Harper, former Prime Minister of Canada; and Toomas Hendrik Ilves, former President of Estonia and Hoover Institution fellow. For many citizens around the world they do not feel that democracy is working, that there is too much corruption, too much nepotism, and too much bad behavior for democracy to survive. The 2008 crisis and the technology revolution created continued suffering, and citizens feel that democratic systems are not working and that the citizens are burdened with the consequences. The weaponizing of social media has further exacerbated the pain as bad actors can quickly mobilize and cause more confusion and problems. So what can be done? Countries need to work together and act super-nationally to give their citizens as well as citizens of other countries security, prosperity, and sustainability. Countries need to use technology to implement coordinated responses to quickly stop the misleading attacks that are causing disruption, disinformation, and decentralization. Democracies need free and fair elections, an independent judicial system, an independent legislature, freedom of speech, property rights, and an immigration system that works for everyone especially the citizens of a country. Populism and disagreements are expressions of democracy, and disagreements do not mean we should delegitimize and reject unconventional choices for leaders and label them undemocratic. When we do that, we are heading in the wrong direction. Instead we should ask: what are our citizens telling us and why are they unhappy? How can we offer citizens democracies with better solutions? As a world, we need to provide security together, but strength comes from within. Countries need to address the shortcoming of how democracies are developed socially, economically, and politically in their own countries first. Democracies must be able to adapt and innovate and they must be allowed the freedom to thrive. The strength of democracies over time is resilience. Countries also need to promote free trade while respecting borders, which are not incompatible especially when using the United States and Canada as examples. If we go towards a Chinese style of government there will be no more Facebook or Twitter and fewer freedoms. One man ruling for life almost always ends up with stagnation, tyranny, or both. Part of the problem democracies are having is that people do not remember what it is like to live in a country where you do not have democratic rights and freedoms. People really need to understand technology and history and to remember what communism and authoritarianism were like in order to avoid those forms of government in the future. With all of the technologies, ideas, and access to information that we have today, we have greatest possibilities for human life ahead of us if we embrace free and fair elections, an independent judicial system, an independent legislature, property rights, and freedom of speech. If democracies do those things then the force of freedom will be unstoppable and democratic societies will thrive.

“Mis tõi meid siia, ei vii meid enam edasi.”

Technology is threatening liberal democracy, say Toomas Hendrik Ilves and Francis Fukuyama. The internet has revolutionized society, but too often it is exploited by authoritarian leaders and populist groups. Fake news breeds more partisanship and disunity. Governments can do more to combat this, but there is a fine line between sensible regulation and encroaching on free speech. For instance, China already drastically regulates their citizens' media use, breeding political resentment. There are no easy answers, and citizens need to encourage a culture shift to continue fighting the toxic effects of these technologies. Francis Fukuyama is the Mosbacher Director of the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law and the Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. Toomas Ilves is the former President of Estonia and a current affiliate of the Center for International Security and Cooperation.

As the President of Estonia, Toomas Hendrik Ilves witnessed firsthand a devastating cyberattack — a series of 2007 attacks that comprise one of the largest instances of state-sponsored cyberwarfare in the modern era. Now a distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, he talks here with Herbert Lin, a senior research scholar for cyber policy and security at the Center for International Security and Cooperation. They discuss how ubiquitous information technology has become in our everyday lives and what that means for our security. They answer questions about the tradeoff between privacy and safety and ultimately urge for a change in mindset with our approach to cyber issues.

It’s a rough time for liberal democracies – with fake news and election hacking creating a growing erosion of trust in governments. Estonia, a small country in eastern Europe and previously under the Soviet Union’s sphere of influence, was hit by a wave of cyber attacks in 2007, which many believe Russia orchestrated. Since then, Estonia and former President Toomas Hendrik Ilves have been focused on building up cyber defenses. This week, The Cipher Brief’s Kaitlin Lavinder spends 15 minutes with President Ilves, who is now a visiting fellow at Stanford’s Institute for International Studies. Here, they talk about fake news, twitterbots, and the future of artificial intelligence.

Even as the pervasive and destructive capacity of cyberattacks becomes ever more evident with the alleged Russian meddling in European and American politics, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, a former president of Estonia, marvels at the European Union’s under-performance in dealing with the threat.

Meie 25. saatekülaliseks on Eesti Vabariigi neljas president Toomas Hendrik Ilves, kes alates 2017. aasta algusest töötab külalisteadurina Stanfordi ülikoolis Californias, Freeman Spogli nimelises rahvusvaheliste uuringute instituudis (FSI), mis on osa ülikooli rahvusvahelise koostöö ja turbekeskusest (CISAC). Vestlus toimus otsesalvestusena Stanfordi ülikooli raamatukogus, kus publikuks olid kohalikud San Francisco piirkonnas elavad eestlased. Veerand sajandiga on väikesest tundmatust Eestist saanud arvestatav ning tunnustatud rahvusvaheline partner. Üha enam inimesi teab Eestit meie tehnoloogilise arengu, avalike e-teenuste, ning digitaalse ühiskonna tõttu, mis teeb Eesti suuremaks kui me tegelikult oleme, ning loob uusi võimalusi. President Ilves on olnud selle protsessi üks vedureid, nii kodumaal uusi ideid pakkudes ja rakendades, kui ülemaailmselt Eestit tutvustades. Selles podcast'is räägime Toomas Hendrik Ilvesega tema isiklikust loost veidi teise nurga alt, mis on lugu uudishimust, pühendumusest ning võimalustest, mis pani ta Eestit puudutava uudisvoo keskmesse ning tegi temast inimese, kes aitas Eesti maailmakaardile. Tema ellu mahub rohkelt lugusid ning erinevaid eluetappe. Selles episoodis räägime Kuidas muutis koolilapsena matemaatika ning arvutiõpetuse eriprogrammis osalemine tema arusaamist maailmast? Miks oli 1960–70ndate Eesti luule tema jaoks huvitavam kui Lääne luule? Kui palju ümbritses teda 1980ndate alguses inimesi, kes uskusid, et Eesti võib kunagi vabaks saada? Millised olid muljed Eestist tema esimesel visiidil 1984. aastal? Miks oli tema töö Raadio Vaba Euroopas üks põnevamaid aegu tema elus? Kuidas jõudsid tema abiga uudised nõukogude Eestist maailmameedia esilehtedele? Mida ta õppis president Merilt? Kuidas ta kirjeldab Eesti Vabariigi 1990ndaid – esimest kümnendit taas vaba riigina? Kui kaugel on Eesti sellest, mis näeb välja ja käitub nii, nagu poleks okupatsiooni kunagi olnudki? Mida saab Eesti teha selle jaoks, et meie nälg parema elukorralduse, parema hariduse ning muu järgi ei sumbuks meid ümbritsevate murepilvede sisse? Mis saavad olema 21.sajandi võtmetähtsusega otsused, mida riigid peavad tegema, et infoühiskonnad saaksid turvaliselt edasi areneda? Miks on IT õigus ning tehisintellekt tulevikuvaldkonnad, millele Eesti noored võiksid tähelepanu pöörata? Milline on president Ilvese soov Eesti 100 sünnipäevaks?

Ja ma soovin, et meil selline stagnatsioon ei tuleks peale.” Meie 25. saatekülaliseks on Eesti Vabariigi neljas president Toomas Hendrik Ilves, kes alates 2017. aasta algusest töötab külalisteadurina Stanfordi ülikoolis Californias, Freeman Spogli nimelises rahvusvaheliste uuringute instituudis (FSI), mis on osa ülikooli rahvusvahelise koostöö ja turbekeskusest (CISAC).

President Toomas Hendrik Ilves kuulutas sellel nädalal välja palju tüli ja vastuolusid tekitanud põhikooli-ja gümnaasiumiseaduse, kuna põhiseaduslikku vastuolu seaduses ei olnud. Samas on koalitsiooni kuuluv riigikogu kultuurikomisjoni liige Liisa Pakosta juba avalikult välja öelnud, et seadus on üsna ebaõnnestunud ning see tuleks õpilase ja hariduse omandamise vaatenurgast ümber kirjutada. Mida konkreetselt, selgitabki stuudios Liisa Pakosta. Koolijuhi seisukoha anna seadusele Gustav Adolfi Gümnaasiumi direktor Hendrik Agur. Saatejuht on Kärt Anvelt. (Kärt Anvelt.)

Riigikohtu üldkogu tunnistas ESM-I asutamislepingu Eesti põhiseadusega kooskõlas olevaks - napi häälteenamusega ent siiski. Nüüd on pall valitsuse ja riigikogu käes - nagu ütles ka president Toomas Hendrik Ilves, on oluline, et võim - parlament, valitsus, kõik otsustajad -selgitaksid inimestele arusaadavalt ja ausalt euroala olukorda ja Eesti võimalusi. Stuudios on rahandusminister Jürgen Ligi. Saatejuht on Kärt Anvelt. (Kärt Anvelt.)

Idag valde parlamentet i Estland ny president men det blev mer en formalitet än en välbevakad nyhet. Det blev nämligen den nuvarande presidenten Toomas Hendrik Ilves som fick fortsatt förtroende. I dagarna var det också 20 år sen Estlands frigörelse och det är däremot något man uppmärksammat på många platser. Idag är det Nordegrens tur att påminna lyssnarna, bland annat om den 5 timmar långa specialsändning i P1 som gjordes redan 1988 när det blåste nya vindar från Ryssland men då det fortfarande var en bra bit kvar till självständigheten. Hör bland andra Hain Rebas, historiker och tidigare försvarsminister i Estland och Maarja Talgre, medarbetare på Sveriges Radio. Dagens bisittare: Dilsa Demirbag-Sten.

President Toomas Hendrik Ilves kirjutas sel nädalal alla otsusele kuulutada välja riigikogu valimised, mis toimuvad 6. märtsil 2011. Erakondadel ja üksikkandidaatitel on veel aega, et oma lõplikud valikud valimisnimekirjadeks teha ja tutvustada oma vaateid, tõekspidamisi ja nägemusi Eesti riigi arengust. Stuudiosse on palutud suuremate erakondade peasekretärid, et teha koos saatejuht Kärt Anveltiga ettevaade lähenevatele valimistele. (Kärt Anvelt)

President Toomas Hendrik Ilves otsustas vastu võtta Venemaa presidendi kutse osaleda 9. mail Moskvas Teise maailmasõja Euroopa lahingute lõpu aastapäeva tähistamisel. Arvamused otsuse suhtes on ametlikul tasandil pigem positiivsed ja mitteametlikul tasandil ei ole hinnangud nii ühesed. Meenutades viie aastatagust pidustust, siis pidasime õigeks mitte osaleda sel üritusel ja see paneb küsima, mis on nende aastatega muutunud? Samas, miks siiski on oluline sel sündmusel viibida ja milliste ootustega peaksime vaatama 9. mai poole? Stuudios on ajaloolane David Vseviov, Riigikogu väliskomisjoni liige Marko Mihkelson ja saatejuht Kärt Anvelt. (Kärt Anvelt)
