In this episode, Transitions’ editor-in-chief Jeremy Druker interviews Ondřej Kundra, a leading Czech investigative journalist and deputy editor-in-chief of Respekt, about his latest reporting on Belarus, the Czech Republic’s special relationship with the country, and whether Central European countries should be doing more to help those facing repression.
They also speak about Kundra’s interview with Belarusian president in exile Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, which highlighted the disappearance of her husband in the country’s prison system, as well as other political prisoners.
In this podcast series, we look at the region from different angles and perspectives, attempting to capture its diversity and understand emerging trends. Above all, we want to give a voice to a region that is often talked to rather than listened to.
