On April 25, on the 51st anniversary of Portugal’s bloodless Carnation Revolution, we held an online conference titled "Russia Needs April 25th," featuring 28 speakers. The goal was to launch discussions about the values of a future Russia, which will be attractive to strive for, how to engage Russians in politics, and how to, with whom and under what conditions cooperate with—both within Russia and abroad, to ensure that regime change in Russia becomes a reality.

While we are editing the recordings, you are welcome to watch a lecture on how dissatisfaction with the war in the army grew, and the desire for change fostered through communication among Portuguese who stayed and those who went abroad, which available in the ADRL Talks section on our website.
