On corruption, charisma, populism & assassination in Slovakia.

Slovak sociologist Dominik Zelinksy joins us to discuss Slovakia's positioning between East and West. We discuss:

  • Why was Prime Minister Robert Fico a target of an assassination attempt?

  • Whether Fico – not a zany outsider but a competent insider – is a "populist"

  • Why Slovaks are not so anti-Russian, and why they are sceptical of NATO

  • How has anti-corruption politics played a role

  • What is "charismatic mimicry" and why have Western leaders aped Ukraine's Zelenskyy?

  • Slovakia's election: "more than a fight between democracy and autocracy", Dominik Zelinsky, LeftEast

  • Slovakia’s Election Result Is About Declining Living Standards, Not Just Ukraine, Jakub Bokes, Jacobin
