Putin wants to destroy Ukraine's cultural identity with his war of aggression. In Hungary and Slovakia, art, culture and the press are increasingly being controlled and harassed. In the Czech Republic and Poland, democratic freedoms have been defended against illiberal policies. What is the state of democracy and freedom in the eastern part of Europe? "Achtung Freiheit!" is the motto of the European Theater Festival at Schauspiel Stuttgart. The SWR Kultur Forum was recorded in this context at the Kammertheater on 28.3.25.
Claus Heinrich discusses with
Andrea Beer, SWR, ARD radio correspondent in Ukraine until February 2025
Michal Hvorecky, Slovakian writer and politician
Kateryna Stetsevych, Head of the Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe Project Group of the Federal Agency for Civic Education
