Dr. Vera Kichanova 🇺🇦

The UK needs a new wave of Hong Kong-style self-governing cities, empowered with broad autonomy to explore diverse planning regimes, governance models, and investment strategies. Check my IAE paper: "Beyond Freeports: Revitalising Britain with Self-Governing Cities" ⤵️

@freecitiesfound All under-18s get a free ticket and a dedicated kids’ corner, so they are entertained while parents enjoy the talks. Here, some young attendees are getting a free chess lesson from @Chesschick01, while Carina is busy planning the transport infrastructure for a future Free City.

The excitement of seeing your mum on stage 🌟 Get your ticket to the Free Cities Conference 2026 — not just the world’s largest gathering of people building liberty in our lifetime, but probably the most child-friendly libertarian event you’ll ever attend! @freecitiesfound

Скоро будет 24 февраля — 4 года полномасштабного вторжения в Украину. Я считаю, что лучше оставить тот день для полной поддержки украинцев. Украине нужно много помощи — чтобы продолжать защищаться и чтобы минимизировать человеческие страдания от атак на жилые дома, энергосистему и т. д. Сегодня выскажу своё мнение с точки зрения будущего России. Я смотрю на эту ситуацию частично с внутренней и частично с внешней перспективы. Я родился в России, моя семья вся русская, но вырос я в Канаде. Политическую ситуацию я всё время наблюдал. В 2017 году даже послал Навальному один биткоин, но сильно вовлечён не был. Я слежу за ситуацией через интернет, как все. И у меня есть свои политические инстинкты после 15 лет в крипте и всякой борьбы в Твиттере (Иксе?). У каждого есть право меня слушать или не слушать — как хотите. Здесь напишу две части: 1. Почему я поддерживаю Украину и говорю, что эта война — преступная агрессия, а не «сложная ситуация, где обе стороны вели себя грязно», как говорят некоторые? 2. Про будущее: сегодняшний «тупик», идея «мира с народом России», и на основе каких идей может быть создано более положительное будущее России, и правильная роль идей «децентрализации», «цифровой демократии» и.т.д.

Why are Free Cities good for the environment? Why private innovation, not greenwashing and red tape, makes our planet greener? 🌍 Find out in my last week's presentation at the @freecitiesfound conference in Prague youtube.com/watch?v=ac343d…

Our 2025 Free Cities Conference was our largest yet, with our highest number of international attendees. And in case you missed the big announcement — in 2026, we’re taking things to a whole new level. For the first time ever, the Free Cities Conference will be held in an actual Free City: #Próspera, on the stunning Caribbean island of Roatán, Honduras. September 3–6, 2026. This will be an unforgettable four-day experience — a rare chance to immerse yourself in the world’s most ambitious governance experiment, meet the people building it, explore its institutions up close, and see firsthand why Próspera is rapidly becoming one of the most exciting places on earth for freedom-minded innovators. Expect the same high-calibre talks, panels, and global pioneers you’ve come to know from our Prague event — now combined with world-class tropical experiences: turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, and adventures ranging from reef diving and kayaking to the legendary Black Pearl golf course. All set in one of the Caribbean’s most breathtaking destinations. Due to capacity limits, tickets are expected to sell out well ahead of the event, so we strongly recommend securing yours early to avoid disappointment. Plus, a 25% super early-bird discount is available until November 10. Prices rise after this date. Find out more and get your tickets for the experience of a lifetime here: freecitiesconference.com/prospera-2026/ CC: @ProsperaGlobal

A free lecture in Prague (in English) on Wednesday, 29th October — thanks to my @sfliberty friends for hosting me 💛 Come for an informal chat about the future of cities — and why you don’t necessarily need to move to a remote island to live freely.

Next Wednesday, 15th October: @freecitiesfound meetup in Dubai! An informal evening with pioneers of next-gen special jurisdictions (out-Dubai Dubai, anyone?) — socialising, Q&A, and a provocative talk on how private cities can help save the planet. meetup.com/free-cities-du…

@s8mb Congratulations Sam!
