It interprets the political change in these countries as an authoritarian cultural backlash, which is not just a legal or political problem, but a kind of post-fascist cultural revolution contesting the liberal script. First, the article explains the framework of authoritarian policing in academia based on the more general works of Bob Altemeyer and Zeev Sternhell. Second, it tries to answer the question: What tools could counter these tendencies from the perspective of the European Union? As the article interprets the rise of authoritarianism as a phenomenon rooted in the cultural deficit of the countries concerned, it argues that a programme for a democratic and pluralist cultural counter-revolution should be implemented. However, no nation can be democratized solely by external actors, and the basics of democratic thinking should be developed from the grassroots level. If the crisis in academia is rooted in a value-crisis within the societies concerned, then measures countering this phenomenon should also include promoting Enlightened pluralism at all levels of these societies.

This chapter explores the Kremlin’s intentions and the responses of Central and East European countries with relatively pro-Russian politics prior to the war. Russia aimed to minimise the target country’s contribution to Ukraine’s war efforts and support of Western sanctions, while nudging them to maintain cooperation. The form and impact of Russia’s actions differed based on the socio-political contexts, which are illustrated with three case studies: Hungary, Bulgaria, and Serbia. Findings are theorised with the use of analytical framework developed by Crawford and Klotz in 1999 that identifies four models of influence – ‘compellance’, ‘normative communication’, ‘resource denial’, and ‘political fracture’. The cases are not clear-cut but, broadly speaking, each falls into one of three categories – Hungary into the normative communication, Serbia into the resource denial, and Bulgaria into political fracture – based on predominant patterns, while compellance can be perceived in each country. Domestic and international policy, energy politics, and the characteristics of energy systems in the target countries all shape sanction design in addition to which the dominant political leadership’s penetration of domestic society is especially pertinent in shaping the sanction design, its effect, and the responses of the receiver of the sanctions.

It argues that studying political cartoons may contribute to capturing aspects of recognition that go beyond those rooted in formal interactions between states and thereby enhance our understanding of what Ringmar called the recognition game. The article focuses on political cartoons about Russia/Putin in two periods. The first is after the annexation of Crimea, while the second is after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. The tones of caricatures in these two periods differ radically. Images in the first depict a transgressive Putin to be feared. While not necessarily a flattering image, the article argues that this set of images can be interpreted as a form of recognition of Russia being a great power to be reckoned with and could encourage Russia’s reckless moves later. Once we get to the second period, however, there is a rupture. The tone of depiction changes, showing a pathetic, deplorable Putin. These images do not simply convey misrecognition, but convey humiliation, a difference somewhat overlooked by the discipline.

The paper will rely on quantitative research carried out in the recent years regarding the statutory context of some issues affecting civil society generally, especially which pertains to fundamental rights like freedom of expression, association, and assembly. It will also have a look at whether and how the financial environment deteriorated, especially with regard to increased hostility towards civil society organizations supported "from abroad", and increased preference for some organizations more in line with government policies or even directly created by the government. It will inquire to what extent such hostility or at least suspicion manifests itself in legislation and whether characterizations of the political-legal system of these countries as applying a technique of autocratic legalism (Scheppele) or more generally, rule by law as opposed to rule of law (Uitz) may explain some of the findings.
