The Footballer as the Soldier

0
Football, by far the world’s most popular sport, is the mirror of our society. Its Americanisation is visible as much as it is audible, as expressed by the autumnal voice of visitor Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, CEO of Atlético de Madrid, on 7 October at the IE Tower Auditorium. This week, it was rumoured that the first fixture of the sort will be the very Atlético against Barcelona in Miami three days before Christmas. How will this circus end? We shall wait. Perhaps we will live to see.

Trump’s Presidency: Implications for Ukraine

Stanislav Vynnytskyi -
Overall, the presidency of Trump may define American-Ukrainian relations in a way never seen before and, as a result, potentially entirely changing the outcomes of the war. Whether Trump prioritizes Ukraine’s and Eastern Europe’s stability or concentrates just on realization of his statements from the election campaign will probably determine the course not only of the Russian invasion but also of Europe-US relations.

Georgia’s Revolution of Dignity? Lessons from Ukraine’s Euromaidan

Opinion 0
The current events in Georgia are somewhat similar to the beginning of Euromaidan. On October 28, 2024, during parliamentary elections, the pro-Russian Kobakhidze government got a majority. According to the OSCE report, statistical anomalies, and prosecutors in Georgia, the elections were not fair, causing the first “wave” of protests. The most likely scenario is that the Kobakhidze government will try to suppress the protests completely until the very end, which might lead to a revolution in Georgia.

Where Did All the Coffee Shops Go and Why Democracy Needs Them

Opinion 0
Third spaces, apart from fostering community, have also historically been the cornerstone of discussion, exchange of ideas, and conversation – the proverbial “living room” of society.
