The Boat is a wonderful city, and looks like its people enjoyed a wonderful band.

Yesterday’s concert at Debich Studio was truly wunderbar: intense and packed. I’m over the moon about such a beautiful reception. The concert was filmed by students from the Łódź Film School and the edit will be handled by Cold War editor Jarosław Kamiński. Photo: Wojtek Bryndel

Brother Trump Grzegorz Kwiatkowski explores, with the writer Thomas Mann, how the authoritarian temptation resides in all of us.

I have to admit, it's surreal to see my Project Syndicate essay reprinted day after day by major newspapers and portals worldwide - from Germany, Sri Lanka, Albania, Serbia - and appearing in more places every hour. And here’s the reprint from India in the photo.

Amazing - Trupa Trupa's Grzegorz writing in The Guardian about violence, history and David Lynch.

3/ In a way, this essay is also my love letter to the people of Minneapolis, whom I compare to Gdańsk during Poland’s communist era and the Solidarity movement.

2/ as well as dozens of Nobel laureates in economics. Project Syndicate’s pieces are republished worldwide by 500+ media outlets in 156 countries. And last but not least: my essay, “Brother Trump,” is an attempt to understand Trumpism through the writings of Thomas Mann.

1/ I’m really, really happy because my new essay has just been published in Project Syndicate - one of the world’s most influential outlets for opinion and analysis. Among its contributors are, among others, Timothy Snyder, Francis Fukuyama, and Timothy Garton Ash

“We scroll. We continue with our lives. We are not indifferent, but we are becoming accustomed. The question is not only who the perpetrators are. The question is who the watchers are,” writes
