Ekaterina Shulman and Maxim Kurnikov in Budva (Montenegro) 2026
Public lectures and the “Status” program with Ekaterina Shulman and Maxim Kurnikov in Europe
Political scientist Ekaterina Shulman and journalist Maxim Kurnikov are embarking on a European tour featuring a series of public lectures and special editions of their author program “Status”.
Ekaterina Shulman is a political scientist, publicist, PhD in political science, and one of the most prominent Russian-language experts on Russian legislation, political institutions, and social processes. Her lectures are valued for academic precision, clear language, and the ability to explain complex political topics in an accessible and structured way — without simplifications or slogans.
Maxim Kurnikov is a journalist and media manager, editor-in-chief of the Russian-language service of Bild and head of the online publication “Echo”. His professional focus is modern politics, media, and social transformation.
All events are held in Russian.
After the talks, Q&A sessions, autograph signings, and book sales are planned.
