On 2 April, the first lecture of the Yabloko Party University will be held at Yabloko’s central office in Moscow. It will be delivered by Ivan Bolshakov, a political scientist and head of Yabloko’s Analytical Centre, who will speak on political parties in the post-truth era.
How are political parties changing? Why are populism and polarisation on the rise across the world? Is there still room for values in contemporary politics? Can centrist parties overcome the current crisis and stand up to populists? And, finally, what does the future hold for party systems in democratic states?
These and other questions will be explored in the first lecture of the Yabloko Party University.
Ivan Bolshakov’s lecture, Parties in the Post-Truth Era, will take place at Yabloko’s office (Pyatnitskaya 31/2, Moscow) on 2 April. The lecture begins at 19:00.
Admission by prior registration.
