A very timely publication by HF Visiting Research Fellow, Lilla Nóra Kiss in The American Spectator.
"In the age of disappearing Snapchat messages, Insta stories, and 280-character tweets, it is reasonable to ask why building lasting monuments matters.
It matters because in this sea of 21st-century distraction, we must be pulled out of our everyday lives from time to time and be faced with timeless truths and virtues to aspire to."

Check out the publication by a previous HF intern Benjamin Bárdos, in Transatlantic Perspective.
"Russia’s unjustified invasion of Ukraine has intensified the need for an answer to what European Strategic Autonomy should be. The definition of what the EU wants to be able to do autonomously has changed greatly and reciprocated the conditions and challenges posed by geopolitical shifts. However, when thinking about European Strategic Autonomy (EU-SA) it must be established what it is; according to the EU’s official definition it refers to the bloc’s capacity to act autonomously."

Read the new publication by Mónika Palotai, Visiting Research Fellow, and Kristóf Veres, Andrássy Fellow in Newsweek.
"As you enter Kyiv's Peace Temple Church's main hall, the first thing that strikes you are hundreds of boxes from the World Food Programme, waiting for distribution to those in need.
Reverend Volodymyr Kondor explained to us that not so long ago the same hall was packed with hundreds of people seeking shelter from Russian President Vladimir Putin's barbaric onslaught.
In Ukraine, churches have become civil society's safety net in addition to serving as houses of worship."

Read the latest article by HF Academic Advisory Board Memeber, Tibor Nagy in the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.
"Each year my wife Jane and I go back to Hungary to see the family I left behind as a refugee and to get an appreciation of how different the world looks when seen from Budapest as opposed to Washington, D.C. (or Lubbock).
The change from 2021 to 2022 has been the most dramatic since the Iron Curtain came down in 1989, and this time it’s not for the better."
