As an immigrant who found freedom and prosperity in America, I am deeply moved by this honor. I accept it on behalf of the many people around the world with whom the Open Society Foundations have made common cause over the past 40 years.

I have witnessed Ukraine transform from a collapsing part of the Soviet Union to a liberal democracy and an open society. It has faced countless acts of Russian aggression, but has persisted.

For decades, my foundations have invested in dismantling systemic racism—from ending the drug war to securing voting rights. Now, a new $220 million investment will build power in Black communities and new anti-racist policies in the U.S. trib.al/tbZlo2D

China’s Xi Jinping is the greatest threat that open societies face today. The country’s roiling real estate market, falling population, and fast-spreading omicron variant might be his undoing, all during his prestige project of the Winter Olympics. bit.ly/3rZLn2K

Putin’s actions are a direct attack on the sovereignty of all States that were once in the Soviet Union, and beyond. Russia is in clear violation of the United Nations charter and should be held accountable.

Growing up in Hungary and living through the Nazi occupation was a formative experience. Seeing my father persevere in the face of evil and help others has informed my worldview and inspired my commitment to building open societies. More about my life at trib.al/tOv5vu7.

I was devastated to learn of the death of Natasha Khalil, who was killed in a terrorist attack en route to her job at the Afghan IHRC. Natasha was a graduate of the American University of Central Asia, which I helped found along with the U.S. government.

Brave Ukrainians are on the frontline and risking their lives. The horrible images coming out of Ukraine remind me of living in hiding in war torn Budapest in 1944 and the siege of Sarajevo in 1993. #StandWithUkraine
