SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Responding to Russian Cyber Operations

SUMMARY:Online Discussion: Parliamentary Perspectives of the Ukraine-Russia Crisis
DESCRIPTION: The Atlantic Council’s Europe Center  invites you to a virtual public discussion on European legislative perspectives on the Russia-Ukraine crisis. .\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Featuring:Rt Hon Tobias Ellwood MPChair\, Defence Select Committee UK House of CommonsEerik-Niiles Kross MPMember\, Foreign Affairs Committee Riigikogu – Parliament of EstoniaMiriam Lexmann MEPMember\, Committee on Foreign Affairs European Parliament (European People’s Party―Slovakia) \n\n\n\nRussia’s aggression against Ukraine threatens the security not just of Kyiv but all of Europe\, bringing the continent the closest it has been to full-scale war for the past 70 years. Russia’s continued election meddling\, border revisionism\, and continued provocations against Central and Eastern European NATO members widen the lens of this crisis\, especially as Russian demands have included a wide-reaching restructuring of Europe’s post-Cold War security system. In response\, European capitals from Tallinn to London have been in a flurry of policy debates and actions\, including negotiations\, arms shipments\, and sanctions coordination to push back against Russian aggression. As this crisis unfolds\, Europe’s policymakers and legislators will play an important role in approving and institutionalizing European states’ efforts to counter Russia’s aggression. To discuss what actions Europe can take in the face of the escalating crisis\, the Europe Center is proud to host legislators and parliamentarians from across Europe’s national parliaments and the European Parliament to discuss their perspectives of the crisis and what role European countries and European institutions must play in resolving it. This discussion will take place on Zoom and will be broadcast on YouTube\, Twitter\, and Facebook To receive the event information\, please register using the button below.

SUMMARY:The Day of Reading Estonian Literature Together 2022
DESCRIPTION:Estonian author Anton Hansen Tammsaare\n\n\n\nJanuary 30th is the birthday of one of the most renowned Estonian writers\, Anton Hansen; also known as A. H. Tammsaare (1878-1940). Some have even proposed making the day a national holiday to celebrate Estonian literature. To celebrate\, the Estonian Institute and the Estonian Children’s Literature Centre invite you to read together this year\, too.  \n\n\n\nThis year’s story is Eno Raud’s Three Jolly Fellows (Naksitrallid)\, the legendary children’s series (first published in 1972) with Edgar Valter’s unforgettable illustrations that just about every fully-grown Estonian has vivid and sentimental memories of. The books have also been turned into animated films accompanied by music by Sven Grünberg. \n\n\n\nJoin Estonians around the world in reading this piece of Estonian literature together! The Estonian Children’s Literature Centre has scanned an excerpt of the book into 15 languages (see the bottom of the post for the links). Read the excerpt to your pupils\, children\, friends\, or pets\, in the language you feel most comfortable\, record your impressions in any way you like\, and connect to other readers all over the world on Facebook with the hashtag: #loemekoos2022. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe excerpt is available in: Estonian\, English\, Russian\, Finnish\, Polish\, German\, Slovak\, Danish\, Czech\, Ukrainian\, Hungarian\, Norwegian\, Georgian\, Latvian\, Lithuanian. \n\n\n\nFor extra fun and some great 20th-century nostalgia\, check out the animated film on YouTube. And be sure to attend the event on Facebook. \n\n\n\nA four-part fairy tale series\, Naksitrallid (Three Jolly Fellows)  tells the adventures of three small men in a world that borders on the fantastic: the composed and close-to-nature\, Mossbeard; the irritable city dweller\, Halfshoe; and the sensitive poet\, Muff. The first two books deal with a chain of events set off by human tampering with the laws of nature; an old woman’s inexplicable love of cats lures a horde of felines to the city. Risking their lives\, the diligent and ready-to-help fellows drive the gang of cats out of town\, but the outcome brings trouble to city and nature alike: rats take control of the urban environment\, all the birds are devoured in the forest\, and the insects consequently launch their own wave of destruction. Only through great peril do Mossbeard\, Halfshoe\, and Muff manage to bring the cats back to the city and restore environmental balance.

DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council’s Transatlantic Security Initiative\, part of the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security\, and the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center host the public event on Enhancing NATO’s collective Deterrence on Friday\, January 28th from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. ET via Zoom. Featuring two former Supreme Allied Commanders Europe\, this conversation will examine opportunities for NATO to improve its collective defense posture as Russia continues threatening to up-end the security order in Europe over increased aggression towards Ukraine. \n\n\n\nAs the Moscow-generated crisis in eastern Europe unfolds\, it has become clear that the Kremlin hopes to leverage the crisis to renegotiate the architecture of Atlantic security on terms favorable to Russia and is willing to escalate militarily against Ukraine in order to achieve these goals. In response to Russia’s troop build-up\, NATO has strengthened certain aspects of its defense and deterrence posture\, including increasing the readiness of certain units and adding naval assets and aircraft to NATO missions. Yet to further respond to and prepare for Russian escalation in Ukraine\, there is more NATO could do militarily to strengthen defense and deterrence. \n\n\n\nTo discuss NATO’s military role in maintaining collective security in the Euro-Atlantic area and potential options for strengthening NATO’s posture and readiness to respond to Russian escalation or a potential new invasion\, the Atlantic Council is honored to be joined by two former SACEURs\, General Philip M. Breedlove\, USAF (Ret.) and General Wesley K. Clark\, USA (Ret.). General Breedlove and General Clark will discuss what options are available to the Alliance and the United States to stand up to Kremlin aggression and ensure the security of our allies. \n\n\n\nRegister for what promises to be an engaging event on a critical topic for the Alliance. Join the conversation on Twitter with #StrongerWithAllies as we consider how NATO can face this critical challenge. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFeaturing a discussion with:General Philip M.

SUMMARY:World Premiere! Singing Revolution: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Singing Revolution is a new musical with a catchy Euro pop score. It tells the tale of star-crossed lovers against the beautiful\, moving and timeless true story of Estonia’s 1987 song-filled\, peaceful uprising\, known the world over as the “Singing Revolution” against the Soviet Union\, which eventually restored the Republic of Estonia’s independence in 1991.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTony Spinosa\, Co-creator: As a passionate theatre professional for over 30 years\, I have always been on the lookout for the inspiration for an original Broadway musical. When I first learned about Estonia’s Singing Revolution\, a light bulb went off in my head; people using the power of peaceful resistance\, literally singing as a shield against Soviet attacks\, is a story that I know I needed to tell. What a beautiful\, moving and timeless story\, and the premise for the perfect musical. \n\n\n\nThe Musical premieres in Los Angeles\, January 15\, 2022! Get your tickets and share the word today!
