A new analytical center, "Arch Frontline," has begun operations in Lithuania, dedicated to disseminating information on geopolitical and security processes. The center will provide consultations on the practical application of its research and analyses, focusing on the struggle between democratic and non-democratic regimes and pathways to democratic victory.
According to its founder, V. Bruveris, the center will analyze the rise of authoritarianism and its global geopolitical dangers, as well as its impact on domestic politics within states. "The challenge of authoritarianism to democracies is currently identified as the main difference and problem, encompassing essentially all aspects of societal life โ security, politics, economics, culture. From here arises another essential question โ how can democracies counter this challenge? What are their weaknesses and strengths, and what is the state and dynamics of the main non-democratic regimes, which are increasingly uniting their forces?" Bruveris stated.

Bruveris on the fear of a "Third World War" and the real threat it poses.
