Five sessions will be held at the Forum, where the national liberation struggle against the imperialism of the Moscow Kremlin will be discussed; strategies of proactive moves and possible scenarios of how to make the process of Russia’s collapse manageable, non-violent, and ultimately lead to the creation of a new architecture of regional and global security with the participation of the newly independent post-Russian states and their democratic neighbors – the EU countries, USA, and Japan.

On April 26, the Forum will host a public debate involving supporters of all-Russian unity and those of decolonization, de-imperialization – “Free Russia VS Post-Russian independent states: post-Putin or post-Russia?”
