Invitations went out over social media this week, informing journalists about inauguration festivities organized by the “White Star” art collective, which includes several prominent figures in Russia’s pro-Kremlin youth movement.

French voters on the left are so worried about the extreme-right National Front’s growing popularity that they’re voting in the political right’s primaries.
