The Sawmill Forum Debate Club mostly took place within the Forum but still quickly gained its own significance. Discussions, meetings and debates were held and lectured delivered continuously for two days of the Forum in several debating pavilions.
The club included leading Russian civil activists, former dissidents and prisoners, historians, sociologists and economists, political theorists and leaders who debated publicly on the most topical issues of social and political situation and development of today’s Russia, and analyzed Russian and global civil activity experience.
The Sawmill Debate Club kept on in the special ‘Sawmill–Continuation’ program all year round: once a month, the permanent club members met their audience, debated, reflected, answered questions, familiarized the audience with crucial civil practices at various outlets in Perm.
