Mrs. Kirk is the president of The Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal.\u00a0 Among the speakers at that Czech Senate Conference were Mrs. Kirk, Karl von Habsburg, and Marco Respinti.\u00a0 Von Hapsburg and Respinti gave tribute to Russell Kirk, emphasizing his value for Europeans.<\/p>\n<p>Von Habsburg studied at the Kirk Center as a Wilbur Fellow in 1984, concentrating his research on American politics and elections. During his time there, he also attended the Michigan Republican Convention, at which Ronald Reagan was nominated for re- election to the presidency.\u00a0 Also known as Archduke Karl von Habsburg, he is the son of the late Otto von Habsburg and a direct descendent of the House of Habsburg, which provided rulers of the Holy Roman Empire from the 15th century through the 18th century.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after his return from Mecosta to Austria, von Habsburg was elected to the European Parliament, where he served for ten years.<\/p>\n<p>Respinti met Russell Kirk in 1989, when Dr. Kirk came to Italy to lecture on the fundamental differences between the French revolution and the American war for independence.\u00a0 Respinti came to Mecosta and served as a Wilbur Fellow in 1990, 1992, and 1996.\u00a0 In that latter year he brought out an Italian translation of Kirk\u2019s Roots of American Order through Mondadori, a major Italian publishing house.\u00a0 His efforts are ongoing. In his words: \u201cKirk\u2019s traditions are successfully continued in Italy through the <em>Centro Studi Russell Kirk <\/em>which works constantly for the same cultural renewal of the western Christian tradition that Kirk held in such high esteem. <em>Deo volente<\/em>, as Kirk loved to quote, <em>labor proficit<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bulk of the event was in Czech, but we offer the portions of the program that were in English.\u00a0 Annette begins her talk after an introduction in Czech at a little more than three and a half minutes in.\u00a0 And, the frequent edits were necessitated by eliding the translator\u2019s portion of the program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Czech edition of The Conservative Mind from The Russell Kirk Center on Vimeo.
