A study by Oxford University reveals that depopulation and lack of state support are fueling political radicalization in Eastern Europe. The five-year research examined communities in Latvia, Armenia, Ukraine, and Russia, highlighting how the shift from socialism to capitalism has led to economic decline. Researchers found that feelings of abandonment contribute to political extremism across the political spectrum. Emigration due to job scarcity exacerbates the issue, while local measures to improve life quality are insufficient to reverse economic and demographic decline. The findings may shed light on similar challenges faced by other European communities.
