In this series of 4 online CHE salons, we explore how lasting peace in Europe might be achieved. This fourth salon is about the Free Nations League. Our guest will be Dorzho Dugarov, A human rights activist and public figure from the Republic of Buryatia, living in Finland since 2016 as a political refugee. While there is still support in the West for Ukraine, there are also vocal advocates calling for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, believing this will lead to peace. The last three salons made it clear that negotiating with Putin is not a realistic option. So, what other paths might lead to sustainable peace in Europe? Dorzho Dugarov will discuss another approach: the creation of the The Free Nations League as a guarantor of a peaceful transition to a post-Russian reality. For more information and to sign up:
The first session of this series of four online meetings was an introduction by the Russian historian Alexander Etkind about the Russian Federation and the end of this empire (see https://youtu.be/5c0VI4chYcc). In the second salon, our guest Dr. Elke Fein presented a developmentally informed perspective on Russian politics and history as a basis for discussing the question: (Why) should we (not) negotiate with Putin’s Russia? See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81FbN1Gdrlc. In the third salon, Valerii Pekar presented a comprehensive analysis of war, highlighted the differences between Ukrainian and Russian societies, and proposed an alternative path to sustainable peace in Europe. This presentation will soon be available on our CHE YouTube channel.
