“The Russian drama began at the end of 1991, when the Soviet Union mercifully ended. Russia and 14 other new countries emerged from the ruins of the Soviet Union. Every one of those 15 new states faced a profound historical, economic, financial, social and political challenge.” EndsCountryStatesPoliticalSocialChallengesEconomicDramaUnionsHistoricalProfoundFinancialRussiaRuinsSovietSoviet Union Author:Jeffrey Sachs

“A national crisis, a political convulsion, is an opportunity, a gift to the traveler. Nothing is more revealing of a place to a stranger than trouble. Even if a crisis is incomprehensible, as it usually is, it lends drama to the day and transforms the traveler into an eye witness.” IfsEyePoliticalOpportunityTroubleDramaCrisisStrangerWitnessTravelerRevealing Book:The Lower River Source: The Lower River
“The Conquest is not a film about Nicolas Sarkozy - it's a film about political conquest. It's a Shakespearean expression, where we have all the elements of a drama, both political and personal at the same time. The decors and the costumes are all based on real photos - I wanted to be as close to reality as possible. Nicola Piovani's theatrical music gives a distance that's almost Chaplinesque, there's something quite funny. There's no imitation, no caricature, no parodie - it's realism with a distance where the dialogues are often quite funny.” GivingRealRealityFilmPoliticalDramaDistanceDialogueImitationConquestTheatricalDecor Author:Xavier Durringer
“Europe was initially supposed to be primarily a political project! The EU never would have come about had it been up to experts or diplomats. It was created by people who had learned from the drama of our collective history. I am proposing a new beginning, not one in which it is first deliberated ad infinitum what instruments one needs, but one that follows from the goals we want to achieve.” PeoplePoliticalGoalAchieveDramaNew Beginnings Author:Emmanuel Macron
“I'd always liked the idea that drama acts at its best as a kind of arena for debate, not just about the thing itself, but also producing aesthetic, stylistic, political and moral discussions. The Jungian view would be that it affects all of our imaginations and somehow taps into our hidden, ancient, primordial memories.” KindIdeasWould BePoliticalImaginationMemoriesViewsMoralDramaAncientDebateDiscussionAestheticArena Author:Jeremy Northam
