How Russians fight

Nina L Khrushcheva 28th April 2023

Ordinary Russians are unable to protest against the Ukraine war. But evidence of covert resistance is everywhere.

The Kremlin’s suicidal imperialism

The greatest democrat Russia ever had

Nina L Khrushcheva 2nd September 2022

Mikhail Gorbachev was Russia’s last liberal leader. His spirit lives on for the next.

Don’t cancel Russian culture

Nina L Khrushcheva 1st July 2022

Refusing to engage with Russian culture will not change Putin’s calculations, let alone impel him to withdraw from Ukraine.

Unhappy birthday, Andrei Sakharov

Nina L Khrushcheva 28th May 2022

The Kremlin’s negation of the Nobel laureate’s legacy represents another step backwards which could lead to nuclear war.

The origins of Putin’s totalitarianism

Nina L Khrushcheva 29th April 2022

Can Navalny take down Putin?

Nina L Khrushcheva 17th February 2021

The future of remote work

The 12 chapters collected in this volume provide a multidisciplinary perspective on the impact and the future trajectories of remote work, from the nexus between the location from where work is performed and how it is performed to how remote locations may affect the way work is managed and organised, as well as the applicability of existing legislation. Additional questions concern remote work’s environmental and social impact and the rapidly changing nature of the relationship between work and life.

The summer issue of the Progressive Post magazine by FEPS is out!

The Special Coverage of this new edition is dedicated to the importance of biodiversity, not only as a good in itself but also for the very existence of humankind. We need a paradigm change in the mostly utilitarian relation humans have with nature.

In this issue, we also look at the hazards of unregulated artificial intelligence, explore the shortcomings of the EU's approach to migration and asylum management, and analyse the social downside of the EU's current ethnically-focused Roma policy.

WSI European Collective Bargaining Report 2022 / 2023

With real wages falling by 4 per cent in 2022, workers in the European Union suffered an unprecedented loss in purchasing power. The reason for this was the rapid increase in consumer prices, behind which nominal wage growth fell significantly. Meanwhile, inflation is no longer driven by energy import prices, but by domestic factors. The increased profit margins of companies are a major reason for persistent inflation. In this difficult environment, trade unions are faced with the challenge of securing real wages—and companies have the responsibility of making their contribution to returning to the path of political stability by reducing excess profits.
