Desk Russia is now launching its publishing house East of Brest-Litovsk. Our goal is to promote our content and our authors. The first book that has just been released is called Say no to Russian violence d’Olga Medvedkova, research director at the CNRS, writer and art historian. The book is prefaced by Philippe de Larapolitical scientist and philosopher.
With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, horror, injustice and lies burst into our daily lives. How will this end? Is Ukraine in danger of disappearing? How far must the West go to defeat Russia? Olga Medvedkova takes us away from the astonishment caused by the extreme brutality of the Russian regime to awaken our courage, so that we do not give in to the intimidation of evil. She does this in a totally original way, by making us reflect on works that were nourishing for her: those of Freud, Jaspers, Fromm, Jankélévitch, Hannah Arendt, Robert Bresson and others. Whether they come from a near or distant past, they bounce back into the present and provide us with the resources for moral resistance, bringing our freedom and our responsibility to life. A masterful read.
