Russia’s ongoing aggression against Ukraine represents a decisive failure of the rules-based international order. As the world drifts further towards the idea of might makes right, a rejuvenation of the rule of law is sorely needed. Without this, we will only see a repeat of past mistakes.

A change of government not only brings along new faces, but also novel solutions. Last year’s presidential and parliamentary elections in Lithuania showed the people’s will to transfer responsibility for foreign policy to President Gitanas Nausėda and his people.

Last year’s parliamentary elections in Austria led to the first-ever victory of the far-right Freedom Party. As its leader Herbert Kickl looks set to become chancellor, the party’s extensive ties to Russia are more relevant than ever.

Next Sunday, citizens from across Kosovo will go to the polls to elect their new parliament for a new four year mandate. Although the country has successfully continued its democratic consolidation over this most recent mandate, numerous hurdles continue to hold back the Kosovo's full development, with politicians seemingly unable or unwilling to reach a united consensus on a path forward.

"Robert Fico, a former communist party member, famously remarked that he “didn’t notice the Velvet Revolution” when it happened. This needs to be understood as a statement directed at his voters, with a lot of them feeling some nostalgia towards the “safer and more predictable” times pre-1989."

Alexei Navalny is still remembered best for his pro-democracy activities in Russia. Despite this, the activist also maintained a troubling loyalty to many aspects of Russian imperialism. A democratic future for the country will only be possible when such issues are confronted head on.

Serbia is currently experiencing a wave of protests following the death of 15 people in Novi Sad. The collapse of a canopy at the city’s railway station has led students to take to the streets across the country to fight for a better future.

There has been a lot of debate over whether or not recent Russian history has been somewhat cyclical in nature. Successive collapses in the 20th century offer potential insights into the Kremlin’s behaviour today.

In addition to being bought and paid for by the Kremlin, the embattled Belarusian dictator is becoming dangerously beholden to China. An opportunity now exists for India to actively distance itself from Minsk.

As the years pass, the last witnesses to the nightmare of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the death factory where more than a million Jews from all over Europe were exterminated, are passing away. What remains is the camp itself, and the objects within it that allow historians and conservationists to learn the stories of individuals. Their stories not only help to understand the tragedy of the victims who were exterminated here, but add a human, personal dimension to these memories.
