In the situation, when not just the future but > the very present of Europe at large has appeared under direct existential > threat from the Russian fascism, all the basic categories that the post-Nazi > world relied on, such as democracy and authoritarianism, historicism and > neocolonialism, pacifism and demonstration of protest, require a profound > revision and change. The system of ideological coordinates as well as the > outlines of the political spectrum we have been used to operate in are to be > rearranged to tackle a new catastrophic reality. > > The fundamental difference that we face in Europe at the moment between the > Western approach characterized by the pursuit of peace and the Eastern one > focused on liberation and independence poses a dramatic challenge – in order > to survive and progress, democracy as a political regime has to be capable of > defending itself also in a military way. What changes does it bring to the > idea of the nation-state and the principles of internationalism? How will the > notions and practices of citizenship, rule of law and human rights and > freedoms be altered? In what way does it affect an economic apparatus and > constitute the modus vivendi of our societies anew?
