An analysis by Yohanan Plesner, president of the nonpartisan Israel Democracy Institute.
The attack by a near-dictatorship on the fledgling democracy in Ukraine has sent chills up the collective spines of all citizens of the free world. Freedom is under assault once again. At the same time, it bears mentioning that the backsliding of Russia from emerging democracy in the mid-1990s to personalist autocracy today is what has made this aggression possible, and perhaps inevitable, in the first place. In other words, the war in Ukraine is a stark reminder both of the vulnerability of democracy and the close link between authoritarianism and war.
