Academic reading about Russia, culture, conflict, education and other related issues out of @CEID_IOE and @IOE_London. New to Twitter. She/Her. Spooks easily.

[Проф. Преображенский @prof_preobr]

Вчера защитники России решили захватить власть в России.
Поэтому другие защитники России полетели убивать первых защитников России, но те их сами убили.

А Герой России Пригожин ехал убивать Героя России Шойгу.
Из-за этого Герой России Кадыров ехал убивать Героя России Пригожина.

А ещё из-за этого Герой России Бортников возбудил дело против Героя России Пригожина, но тут же закрыл его.

Потому что самый главный герой России Путин сначала гарантировал, что предатели понесут наказание, а потом гарантировал, что не понесут.

А на тех самых первых защитников, которых убили, всем наплевать.
Главное, что все защитники и герои, и можно продолжать гордиться тем, какие у России героические защитники.

Or the other thing... worrying?? I am not sure yet.

I am terrible at Twitter, but wow I am grateful I had it last night. Reassuring to see I wasn't alone in my complete bewilderment.

@UmaPradha1 Well deserved!

Off to London to teach on the Education During Emergency Situations module, and watching this on loop on the train because I am a consummate professional: https://t.co/2VmyJkVxqp Laughed so hard, I think the other passengers have taken some steps back.

Today has been one of those full-on days, where there have been a million tasks, and yet I haven't gotten to any of the work I actually had scheduled in... It's going to be a late one, I think.

An important response to the Taliban's ban on women's higher education by MA EID's own Shurha Koofi. There isn't enough attentionon this story. @CEID_IOE @IOE_London

Seconded. Even if you're only picking it up now, this is well worth reading.

[The History Biker @BikerHistory]

On my shelf since 2018… shamefully only just read this by @ArkadyOstrovsky. In many ways more interesting post-24th Feb ‘22. Highly recommend it if you want to understand media manipulation in #Russia and the relative ease of maintaining #Putin’s cult of personality. #Ukraine

[Alexandra Lewis @AlexReadsAbout]

After an evening of reading predictions of imminent state collapse and civil war in Russia and its geopolitical implications, I'm picking up "My name is Lucy Barton". I don't know how I would sleep without literary fiction.

[Alexandra Lewis @AlexReadsAbout]

Another lovely one

Happy New Year!

A gentle reminder to my MA EID students, and anyone else who needs it @CEID_IOE today as we head into term 2, from the creative mind of @lizandmollie

[Alexandra Lewis @AlexReadsAbout]

Well, this was wonderful. Special thanks to my @CEID_IOE MA EID students for motivating me to read this over the break. Looking forward to chatting over the book in January.

[Alexandra Lewis @AlexReadsAbout]

This article was brilliant. Highly recommend.
