The virus as metaphor

Published on 25 June 2020

In the last talk of the series of Debates Digital online events, Sergei Lebedev and Marius Ivaškevičius speak with Debates on Europe's Carl Henrik Fredriksson about how the coronavirus pandemic brings back the Soviet past and how societies and mentalities both change and remain the same.

They add elements of understanding of the situation in their respective countries to their articles we have published on Russia and Lithuania, and evoke their personal experience.
