Ordet diktator sender kanskje tankene til historiske skikkelser som ene og alene styrte fjerne stater med jernhånd. I dag er bildet et annet: Verdens autokrater spiller på samme lag, og inngår pakter i hemmelighet for å beholde makten og rikdommene. De deler trollfabrikker og andre ressurser på tvers av politisk ståsted, enten de er kommunister, nasjonalister eller sjia-radikalister, og skjuler penger i skatteparadis over hele kloden. Og vestlige stater spiller med.
Dette er bildet Anne Applebaum tegner opp i Diktatorklubben (til norsk ved Rune R. Moen), hennes nye bok om det skjulte nettverket av autokrater og autokratiske stater som har vokst frem siden årtusenskiftet. I boken beskriver Applebaum diktatorenes gullalder, og kartlegger de politiske og især økonomiske båndene de knytter – ofte med demokratiske stater som nyttig idiot eller tilrettelegger.
Anne Applebaum er en av verdens fremste forfattere av historiske dokumentarer, blant annet Jernteppet og den banebrytende Rød sult. Stalins krig mot Ukraina. Som forfatter og journalist har hun vært en tydelig stemme i samfunnsdebatten i USA og Øst-Europa og en skarp kritiker av vestlige staters tendering bort fra demokratiske verdier og prinsipper.
Nils August Andresen er historiker og ansvarlig redaktør for avisen Minerva. Han har tidligere studert i Russland, og er særlig opptatt av Putins fremvekst og truslene mot den internasjonale orden.
Nå møtes Andresen og Applebaum til samtale om den nye verdenseliten – og hvordan de kommer unna med det.
Arrangementet foregår på engelsk.

The word «dictator» might make you think of a select few evil men of the past, who sat alone on their thrones and ruled far-flung kingdoms with an iron fist. Today’s reality is something very different: The autocrats of the world are playing on the same team, doing deals in secrecy to maintain power and keep their riches. They share troll farms and other resources across political lines, either they’re communists, nationalists, or Shia radicalists, and hide their wealth in tax havens all over the globe. And Western states play along.
This is the current situation, as described by Anne Applebaum in Autocracy, Inc., her new book on the hidden network of autocrats and autocratic regimes that has blossomed since the turn of the century. In the book, Applebaum describes the golden age of dictatorship as she charts the political and economic ties that unite the dictators of the world – often with democratic states as useful idiots or direct facilitators.
Anne Applebaum is one of the world’s foremost authors of history books, among others The Iron Curtain and the groundbreaking Red Famine. Stalin’s War with Ukraine. As a journalist and writer, she is a central voice in the U.S. and Eastern European political scenes and a fierce critic of Western states’ moves away from democratic values and principles.
Nils August Andresen is a historian and editor of the newspaper Minerva. Since his days as a student in Russia, he has been particularly interested in Putin’s rise to power and the threats towards international order.
Now, Andresen meets Applebaum on stage for a conversation on the new world order – and how they’re getting away with it.
