As Americans worry about the health of their own democracy, Poland, Hungary, Romania and the Czech Republic show that decline can come bracingly fast.

And the signs bear little resemblance to the repressive methods of 20th-century despotism. wapo.st/2EjOTyp
Supposedly independent institutions — including courts and prosecutor’s offices — become instruments of political control. wapo.st/2EjOTyp
