Having spent a little more than 2 years as a PhD-student at
WPI (Massachusetts, USA),
Dmitry Sinyukov, the founder and the first president of Speak Freely, is presenting his view on western and more specifically American mentality.
One of the most important and deep-rooted aspects of western mentality is hypocrisy. It spans from personal relationships to working environments and geopolitics. Understanding western hypocritical rhetorics and its use in everyday life is a key to becoming a player rather than a toy in the western world, as well as, not being fooled in your own country. A heated discussion is expected :)

Let's look back at the year 2013 and see what we (as individuals) have planned, what plans have been made reality, and what is still left to do in 2014. By no means a contest or vanity show, it will be a discussion of possibility/impossibility and how our perception of it changes over time.

Immigration as an issue becomes hotter and hotter in the world where most of the countries, including Russia, are multicultural and a large part of the population does not live in their country of origin. Are immigrants a good or a bad thing for the state? What should they be allowed to do and up to which point should they integrate? These and other questions will be discussed, and no one will leave without having said something.
