A New Breed Of Autocracy

The Kremlin's lies can be seen almost everywhere across the globe and show no signs of abating. In fact world leaders are even adopting Putin's tactics as a new breed of autocracy is on the horizon. So what can be done to stop the erosion of democracy and ensure that voting remains the great equaliser in polarized societies around the world? Gavin Esler explores the worldwide rise of an "authoritarian mindset": angry and highly divisive politics stretching from Trump's America to Brexit Britain, Orban's Hungary, and to Poland, Brazil, the Philippines, India and elsewhere. All seemingly following the lead of Vladimir Putin in Moscow. And he asks 'How does America under the Presidency of Joe Biden, begin to stand up to a Russia actively flexing its foreign aggression muscles?'
