The secret history of liberalism in Russia
Press release, 13.09.2018
Political opponents of liberalism in Russia and even some supporters of the ideology believe that liberalism is alien to Russia brought from the west. At the same time, historians have been studying the roots of Russian liberalism for centuries. However, this research is out of the public limelight.
This is why Yabloko Deputy Chair Alexander Gnezdilov will give a series of lectures on liberalism starting with the second half of the 18th century and going back through the ages. There is a reason why the first lecture will take place on 18 September. It is the 300th anniversary of count Nikita Panin’s birth. He was one of the authors of the first constitution draft. The first lecture will be dedicated to this draft.
The lecture will be held at the party’s Moscow office (Pyatnitskaya 31, bldg 2) on 18 September at 20:00.
Free entrance.
