In a time of war\, the political and social processes fundamentally change. Understanding the attitudes and opinions of the population and discussing the challenges the public opinion researchers experience under siege is equally important. In March and April\, Ukrainian pollsters – InfoSapiens and Rating Group conducted several polls to understand the popular opinions on politically and socially relevant issues. For instance\, InfoSapiens surveyed to what extent are Ukrainians resilient against Russian aggression and disapprove the ban on Ukraine’s accession to NATO and EU. The Rating Group conducted the eight national polls to study popular attitudes on war-related topics\, including the psychological markers of the war\, adaptation of Ukrainians to the war conditions\, assessment of the situation in Ukraine\, international support of Ukraine and the guilt of the peoples of Russia and Belarus. Reputable international organizations such as IRI Ukraine conducted public opinion polls showing overwhelming support for the Ukrainian President\, the confidence of the Ukrainian people in winning the war\, as well as willingness and readiness to join the European Union. \nInna Volosevych\, Deputy Director of InfoSapiens and Michael Druckman\, IRI Program Director of Ukraine\, will discuss topics related to the organization and conduction of these polls in sociological and methodological terms. They will also bring insights into the interpretation of poll results to contextualize the surveyed attitudes. \nInna Volosevych will focus on “What Do Surveys Tell us about the Public Opinions in the Period of War: The Comparative Analysis of Ukraine and Russia” \nMichael Druckman will focus on “Understanding Ukrainian Citizens’ Sentiments on Domestic Politics\, International Support and Geopolitical Alignments” \nDate: June 15 Wednesday \nTime: 2 pm.

That is what all socialists had been promising since Karl Marx famously wrote that “the first step in the revolution … [is] to win the battle of democracy.” But instead of democracy\, the victory of the Russian Communists resulted in the world’s first modern totalitarian state. What had gone wrong? Did socialism mean a new form of tyranny? And was there an alternative to the dictatorship established by Lenin\, Trotsky\, and Stalin? \nThe first Georgian republic\, which lasted barely three years\, was embraced by social democratic leaders including Karl Kautsky as the alternative to Bolshevism. The delegation of European social democratic leaders who visited Georgia in late 1920 — and the parties they led — began to rethink their own vision of a new society in light of what they saw emerging in Russia and Georgia at that time. Even more so in the aftermath of the crushing of the 1924 uprising in Georgia\, the two camps which had co-existed on the European Left came apart\, with Communists on the one side and Socialists on the other. \nThough the historic memory of the Georgian Republic had largely disappeared in Europe\, their vision of “democratic socialism\,” an alternative to Communism\, became increasingly important\, especially during the Cold War. That vision of liberating and democratic socialism remains relevant today as well. \nAbout the Speaker \nEric Lee (b. 1955) is an American writer\, journalist\, and trade unionist. He is the founding editor of the website LabourStart\, which covers trade union media and campaigns around the world. \nEric Lee devoted thirty years to the study of various aspects of Georgian history and wrote two books: \n\nThe Experiment: Georgia’s Forgotten Revolution 1918-1921 (Zed\, 2017) The book is also published in Georgian (Publishing House “Poetry”\, 2018) and in Russian.\nNight of the Bayonets: The Texel Uprising and Hitler’s revenge (GreenHill Books\, 2020) The book entitled “Georgian Uprising on Texel: The Last Battle in Europe” is also published in Georgian (Publishing House “Poetry”\, 2020)\, Dutch and Czech.\n\nIn addition to these books\, Eric Lee is the author of four other books: \n\nBritain’s Plot to Kill Hitler: The True Story of Operation Foxley and SOE (GreenHill Books\, 2022)\nOperation Basalt: The British Raid on Sark and Hitler’s Commando Order (The History Press\, 2016)\nThe Labour Movement and the Internet: The New Internationalism (Pluto Press\, 1996)\nSaigon to Jerusalem: Conversations with Israel’s Vietnam Veterans (McFarland\, 1992)\n\nFormat \nThe public lecture and the ceremony will be held in a hybrid format.
