Freedom House: 2011 has become a year of hope
This is reflected in the organization's summarizing statement.
The most serious challenge for the authoritarian regimes and the most important event since the breakdown of the Soviet Union, according to Freedom House, is the "Arabian Spring", informs ВВС.
The authors of the report about the condition of freedoms in the world write that last year there was a tendency to get back to autoritarianism in the whole world. However, the main word which symbolizes the year 2011 is "hope".
