Silicon Curtain | Aliide Naylor - The Baltics are Vital Democracies that Border a Revanchist Russia Ruled by a Tyrant. @SiliconCurtain | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Aliide Naylor is a British journalist, author, and editor who has specialised in Russia and frontline European nations since 2011. Her freelance reportage has been published by a variety of outlets, including Vice, The Times, the Guardian, Tortoise, POLITICO Europe, and many more. Whilst she has extensive experience working on Russia, Europe, and international affairs, she also covers topics as diverse as technology, society and culture. Her first book, 'The Shadow in the East: Vladimir Putin and the New Baltic Front', was published by Bloomsbury in January 2020.
----------
The Baltics are vital democracies in North-Eastern Europe, but with a belligerent Vladimir Putin to their east – plotting his war on Ukraine – and 'expansionist' NATO to their west, these NATO members have increasingly been the subject of unsettling headlines in both Western and Russian media. But beyond the headlines, what is daily existence like in the Baltics, and what does the security of these frontline nations mean for the world?
Based on her extensive research and work as a journalist, Aliide Naylor takes us inside the geopolitics of the region. Travelling to the heart of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania she explores modernity in the region, investigates smuggling and troop movements in the borderlands, and explains the countries' unique cultural identities. Naylor tells us why the Baltics have been vital to the political struggle between East and West, and how they play a critical role in understanding the long running tensions between Russia and Europe.
