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.

The FATIGUE project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement No. 765224.
