  2. Boris Kagarlitsky and the challenges of the left today: International conference

    Ever defiant in the face of repression and a five-year jail term, Boris Kagarlitsky, Russia’s best-known socialist thinker, has just published his latest book, The Long Retreat: Strategies to Reverse the Decline of the Left.

    This special online conference in Kagarlitsky’s honour will address the double aspect of his contribution: his wide-ranging analysis of the left’s dilemmas in the face of multiple global crises and the advance of the far right; and his resistance — together with other persecuted anti-war activists in the Russian Federation — to the authoritarianism of the regime of Vladimir Putin.

    After an opening address by Nancy Fraser the four sessions of the conference cover:

    • Discussion of The Long Retreat: Strategies to Reverse the Decline of the Left
    • The situation of the Left in Russia
    • Imperialism(s) today
    • Political repression and the threat to intellectual freedom in Russia and beyond
    • The final session also launches the Kagarlitsky Network for Academic and Intellectual Freedom
