It sure is a paradox - today, quite a number of people is escaping from Russia to Ukraine where they form a growing group of political refugees. It clearly shows that Ukraine is becoming a Westernized country. Just as before when people were escaping to the West, they are now coming to Ukraine.
The newly founded “Civil Society Centrum” was officially presented on February 19th 2015 in Prague. Because a possible target of provocateurs, the planned presentation was kept secret till the last moment. The result was a success. Six hour public debate and closing concert by two-member band from Russia was encouraging for the future. Among the guests were Ambassadors of Sweden and USA. I had a chance to talk to both of them, we were discussing topical issues (the case of czech children in Norway, or corruption in the Czech Republic). The presentation and concert of Russian musicians was a shocking account of Russian society today, but at the same time a hint of hope for the future, not only for Russian people, but for us, too. I do recommend seeing the band’s recording! We sure did go through something very similar during our own era of totalitarianism. Situation in Russia is very serious. Every single citizen over there should realize that to gain freedom is never easy. And that only a freedom is sure guarantee of economic prosperity, and good civil society.
