Before I Disappear: Magda Vášáryová on the Challenges of Today’s World

It is not only the war in Ukraine that shows we are living in a time of major change. Few people have as much to say about the crisis of liberal democracy or the rise of authoritarians and populists in Central Europe (and beyond) as Magda Vášáryová, the legendary Slovak sociologist, diplomat and politician. She will introduce Než zmizím (Before I Disappear), a book length interview in which she speaks openly about the most pressing issues of our time. Petr Šabata, who conducted the interview, will also take part in the discussion, which will be moderated by Jáchym Topol.
