Democracy in Europe
[3] After the fall of Communism most countries in Central and Eastern Europe either democratized or re-democratized.
[4] Some democratic backsliding can be observed in parts of Europe, including Hungary and Poland.
[5][6] The V-Dem Democracy Report identified for the year 2023 Montenegro and Kosovo as cases of stand-alone democratization and North Macedonia as a case of U-Turn democratization, while Poland as a small but statistically insignificant uptick in liberal democracy index.
Ahead of the 2024 Azerbaijani presidential election, Amnesty International reported an increased crackdown on the right to freedom of expression, repression of peaceful dissent, a coordinated assault on civil society, and the targeting of critical voices by President Ilham Aliyev.
[14] Unfair elections were reported in Russia due to political repression[15] and allegations of electoral fraud.
