Introduction

Stratovost is a media platform built on the desire to offer alternative perspectives on regions where culture, civilisation, and identity are often misunderstood due to mainstream media, which tend to present a narrow and biased vision of the world. Most of the time, these distorted portrayals of such important topics serve political agendas. Here, the main purpose is to create relevant articles on the topics mentioned above, in order to encourage people to be more curious. We aim to focus geographically on Eastern Europe, the Near East, and even extend to a broader Eurasian scope. To sum up, our deeper purpose is to promote freedom through knowledge about foreign regions for Western countries, and to spark new interest in the Eastern world, which is increasingly becoming the future in terms of market opportunities and political stability.
