Russische Linke gegen den Krieg in der Ukraine

After February 24, 2022, many Russian leftists were forced to leave Russia. Political participation and open criticism of the balance of power became practically impossible with the beginning of the major invasion of Ukraine. In emigration, the Russian left is forced to regroup, to examine old positions and to deal with the conditions in their current locations. Key points of current debates, points of contention, red lines, dealing with the liberal opposition, an analytical look at Russia's war of aggression, visions for a future Russia and the Radical Democracy coalition project are the topics of the event. It offers the option of seeking dialogue and critical discussion with three representatives of the Russian left.


Speakers:
Mikhail Lobanov, left-wing politician and trade union activist
Marina Simakova, social scientist
Ilya Matveyev, researches in the field of Russian and international political economy
