Does the political speech of Grigoris Lambrakis appeals
to an international audience and especially to the contemporary
audience of the ex-socialist countries? The political speech of
Grigoris Lambrakis could be universal?
Grigoris Lambrakis's political speech adopts the doctrine of Nikita Khrushchev's Soviet Union which promoted the concept of “peaceful coexistence” (between socialist and capitalist countries). In the Baltic countries this concept presumably was received with suspicion and perceived as a hoax. As stated on a label at the 'Museum of Occupations' in Riga, “arming of the USSR is done under the banner of fighting for peace.”
The presentation of the proposed performance/re-enactment of Grigoris Lambrakis's political speech will highlight the ambivalence of such a performance in Tallinn, Estonia, a country that has historically dealt with the consequences of the ex-Soviet Union's political and social repression, recently though an adopter of the Euro currency and a strong supporter of the Western, European Union and Eurozone neoliberal politics.
The speech in Tallinn will be presented in Greek with supertitles in English and Estonian.
