“We must worry about what’s happening in Russia and China, as well as in Hungary. It’s been weeks since authoritarian regimes, even through the pervasive and unscrupulous use of the Internet and fake news, flooded the West with messages questioning the effectiveness of democratic systems in tackling the pandemic.
