Russia as a false defender of traditional values
On Wednesday, ECR MEPs Mariusz Kaminski and Rihards Kols will host a conference examining Russia's claim to be a global defender of "traditional values".
This event will explore how Russia presents itself as a defender of traditional and conservative values, while questioning the reality behind this image. It will look at how these values are used by the Russian government for political purposes, both inside Russia and abroad, and why this narrative appeals to some audiences in Europe.
