Open Society and Its New Enemie

Summary/Abstract: To conclude, we are confronted with new dangerous phenomenon – systematic destruction of trust to public institutions, political class, leaders and mechanisms of their functioning. It goes without saying that democracy needs control, supervision of the policies pursuit, strong media able to restrain bad political attractions. Lord Action was right saying that each power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
