Nationalism and repression have reached the cultural scene in Eastern Europe. Writers, artists, and intellectuals are under pressure as culture becomes an instrument of propaganda and control.
At the next "A Stage for Eastern Europe" event, Cathrin Kahlweit, an expert on Eastern Europe, will discuss these pressing issues with:
- Michal Hvorecký – author facing threats for his criticism of Slovakia's government
- Paul Lendvai – renowned publicist and commentator
They will explore the impact of nationalist policies in Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia, and their implications for Austria and beyond.
📅 19 January 2025
⏰ 11:00
