Misha Glenny will be presenting on the intriguing topic: "Are we living in the 1930s? Or something else?" Drawing on recent events, this promises to be an insightful and engaging lecture that you won't want to miss.

The lecture will be preceded by a short Annual General Meeting of the London Branch and followed by a networking reception with refreshments.
