Stanislav Biler is a writer, sociologist, and journalist. His work focuses on domestic politics, education, and life in Czechia's peripheries. He produces the show Všichni tady umřeme (We will all die here) for the news outlet Alarm. He is a two-time winner of the OSF Journalism Award for an article on the depopulating region, and for an essay on how the failures of a broken system get repackaged as individual failure.
