International Viewpoint, the monthly English-language magazine of the Fourth International, is a window to radical alternatives world-wide, carrying reports, analysis and debates from all corners of the globe.

The first round of the French local elections will take place on Sunday 15 March, the second on 22 March. There is a real possibility that the “traditional” right, which is increasingly radicalizing in a far right direction, will win in Paris, under Socialist Party government since 1995, and that the Rassemblement National could win in France’s second, and very multi-racial, city, Marseilles.

Ilya Budraitskis, historian and author, professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the most important voices of Russian left-wing intellectual thought, speaks to "Epochi" about the imperialist logic that governs the talks between the USA and Russia regarding the end of the war in Ukraine, the objectives of both sides, and the stance of the Russian Left towards a potential peace agreement.

He makes a few suggestions for where anti-fascist politics could begin today in this interview by Philipp Schmid (BFS Zürich) first published in Sozialismus.ch.
