The Barricade
The Barricade is a leftist media outlet set up by a group of activists and journalists from around Eastern Europe. This channel is part of our efforts to provide analyzes, news as well as opinions and comments from and on our region, often disregarded by the West (including the left) in a very colonial manner. One of our tasks is to confront such an approach as well as many other naïve and superficial views about Eastern Europe and its left. It has history, experience and competence to participate in the global debates. And we're doing this via this channel and its flagship show "On the barricades" hosted by Boyan Stanislavski and Maria Cernat.
We're developing new ideas for new series of programs. If you have one -- please, contact us via e-mail or any of our social-media platforms. We're available on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
