But moral reckoning is an even more complicated business. An editorial for Eurozine.

It certainly didn’t help that the opposition’s campaign failed to deliver a post-illiberal vision. An editorial for Eurozine.
Clinging to his nukes, Putin will only lose power if his own turn on him. It’s hard to predict when, if ever, the leaders he has humiliated and threatened into submission will do the basic calculus and find that obeying the tyrant will inevitably cost way more than defiance. An editorial for Eurozine.
New COVID-19 variants keep the international public anxious, and this crisis, permeating all social, economic and political spheres, isn’t even in full bloom yet.
