Theme of the week: Lenin - alive?

Inactive Lenin, Europe without big ideas and an alternative to global capitalism

Exactly 90 years have passed since the death of Vladimir Ulyanov-Lenin. But sometimes it seems that this historical character lived not 90, but at least 190 years ago - he appears so infrequently in today's Russian and European socio -political discussions.

Why did Lenin cease to be relevant? Is modern Russia afraid of the revolution - and modern Europe? How did society and its problems transform from Leninist times? Is it possible to talk about "working classes" and fight for their interests now? Why in modern Europe not visible ideas of a global scale? Do you need an alternative to modern capitalism?

These and other pressing issues are discussed by the project participants in Europe and the guest, the historian of culture, the chief editor of the magazine "Unaccounted stock" Ilya Kalinin .
