Neutrality Studies

Originally published on Dec 28, 2025.It is a trauma—a trauma that must remain repressed. While Willy Brandt’s kneeling in Warsaw has been etched into German collective memory, and remembrance of the six million victims of the Holocaust forms the core of Germany’s “culture of remembrance,” the country's guilt toward the 27 million citizens of the Soviet Union who were killed remains a taboo—especially now, as Europe prepares for the next major war against the East. That, and my guest’s experiences over more than 30 years in Russia, are what we will discuss today.Today I am joined by author and Moscow correspondent Ulrich Heyden. Mr. Heyden has worked in Russia since 1992 for various newspapers and currently publishes for NachDenkSeiten and other German-language online outlets.Links:Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: ⁠https://pascallottaz.substack.com⁠ Goods Store: ⁠https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...

Originally published on Dec 27, 2025.The 59 individuals sanctioned by the EU are just the beginning. The eurocrats are only getting started with their campaign against internal dissent. Their unhinged nature is as much a function of the way they are losing the Ukraine proxy-war as also a direct result of 30 years of End-of-History megalomania in the West. Paired with the loss of the USA as a transatlantic parter, the Eurocrats are cornered. But instead of reversing course and correcting their anti-democratic actions, they are set to crack down even harder on dissent from within.Links:Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: ⁠https://pascallottaz.substack.com⁠ Goods Store: ⁠https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...

Hüseyin Doğru, a German journalist specializing in conflict and foreign policy, shares his harrowing experience after being sanctioned by the EU. He reveals how these sanctions serve to repress dissent and limit civil liberties in the West. Hüseyin discusses the lack of legal rights, the bureaucratic challenges in accessing basic needs, and the chilling effects on his daily life and family. He critiques the misuse of 'disinformation' claims against journalists and urges listeners to organize and engage in civic actions to counteract repression.

Originally published on Dec 22, 2025.Fifty-nine individuals are by now sanctioned by the European Union in pursuit of punishing Russia for the War in Ukraine. Many of them are Russian citizens but more and more the EU is putting its own citizens and those of third states on this list, for reasons that have often little to do with Russia. One of them is my compatriot, Nathalie Yamb, who was in fact the first Swiss Citizen to be included on the list, back already in June 2025.Links:Nathalie's YouTube channel: ‪@nathyamb‬Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...

Originally published on Dec 21, 2025.NATO and EU „jurists“ are trying to tell us that Kosovo is a case „sui generis“ — aka unlike any case before or after it. Well, how convenient, since it is the first case that NATO used to justify bombing foreign territory (Serbia). Today we are going to put a very close focus on Kosovo, the history of the conflict, and what it is all about.Joining me is Dr. Sandra Davidovich, a scholar of Yugoslav history and modern Kosovo.Links:Sandra's Google Scholar page: https://scholar.google.com/citations?...Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...

Originally published on Dec 20, 2025.With its sanctions list, the EU HAS quietly revived medieval "outlawry" in the heart of modern Europe. Why can a secretive administrative body bypass every judicial safeguard to financially erase a citizen? Horrible realities are surfacing within the institutions supposedly built to protect our most fundamental liberties.I am joined again by Michael von der Schulenberg, a German parliamentarian in the EU Parliament, who provides a rare, first-hand account of the unchecked power dynamics currently shifting the continent’s legal foundations.Links:Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...

Georges Martin, a former Swiss diplomat, shares deep insights from his extensive career in international relations. He critiques European leaders for their warmongering rhetoric, warning that it pushes the continent closer to war. Martin discusses Europe’s dwindling influence in the Global South and reflects on missed opportunities after the USSR's collapse. He raises concerns about the EU’s transformation from peacekeeper to confrontational power. Ultimately, he advocates for a robust definition of Swiss neutrality while urging citizens to engage for peace.

Originally published on Dec 18, 2025.The European Union just decided to permanently freeze 140 Billion Euros or so of Russian State assets and basically expropriate the Russian state. What does mean for Europe as an economy and as a market place? Here to help with this question is Dejan Soskic, a Professor at the University of Belgarde and former Governor of the Serbian Central bank.Links:Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...

Originally published on Dec 16, 2025. How did we reach a point where quoting Western sources gets you branded a foreign propagandist? Is the EU's executive branch now completely out of its mind, punishing dissenters without trial under the guise of fighting "propaganda"?To discuss this Orwellian turn, I sat down with my friend and colleague Glenn Diesen. As a professor at the University of Southeast Norway and a sharp geopolitical analyst, Glenn brings the necessary depth to understand why Europe is seemingly criminalizing objective analysis.Links:Glenn's YouTube Channel: ‪@GDiesen1‬Glenn's Substack: https://glenndiesen.substack.com/Glenn's X/Twitter: https://x.com/Glenn_DiesenNeutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
