Solidarity as a catalyst for political change: the role of civic movements in Central and Eastern Europe

The story of the Solidarity movement in Poland is more than a historical event. Today, across the region, civil society is organizing in ways reminiscent of the group from the communist era. Lessons can therefore be learnt from these protests that ultimately changed a continent.

The politicisation of Russian youth

In Russia, within the younger generation, a politically sensitive “subgroup” has formed and has been growing since 2010. It is no longer just Vladimir Putin's generation, but also the generation of Alexei Navalny and YouTube.

After the protests on the Maidan in Ukraine, the “electro-Maidan” in Armenia and especially Russia’s anti-corruption rallies in the spring and summer of last year, a debate about a new generation of post-Soviet youth has flared up in the media. Is it true that this new generation is more radical than the previous one? Why didn’t young people participate in politics before? How can we describe the life of the modern post-Soviet youth and are they able to finally build a democratic civil society in the post-Soviet space?
