Our guest is Michael Cole, an Early Stage Researcher on the FATIGUE Project, based at the University of Tartu, Estonia, and a Doctoral Fellow at the Centre for the Analysis of the Radical Right.

His research interests include the relationship between football and far-right politics in Central and Eastern Europe, and the use of football as a political tool by right-wing populist leaders.

We focus on the Krakow Derby in Poland, Ukraine and Georgia in this interview.
