Some funny (actually not) pics about the Rus economy w @kolyandr. Russia’s economy performed like a marathon runner on steroids in 2024. But the effect of the drugs is already beginning to wear off. GDP growth is currently slowing, while inflation is rising

@drpollyjones Congrats! Can’t wait to read it.

[Alexandra Sukalo @AlexandraSukalo]

Emily Whalen makes the case that Israel should look to 1982 and its ground war in Lebanon to understand that its current incursion is risking a prolonged, chaotic conflict that will ultimately increase insecurity for the entire region. Worth the read!

The diminishing labor force in Russia is a real issue, not to mention the need for replacements for their war in Ukraine. It will be interesting to see what impact this will have on migrants who may have been considering applying for a Russian passport.

[Erica Marat @EricaMarat]

Russia rounded up over 400 migrants in Krasnoyarsk. Those with Russian passports received summons to conscription office, others face the risk of deportation.

Today, Putin increased the military’s size for the 3rd time since 2022. Can they sustain 1.5M postwar, at a time when the budget will be under pressure to procure equipment? Not without tradeoffs. See my new report for more on this and other tradeoffs👇 https://t.co/jafqgTzksb

[Mikhail Khodorkovsky @khodorkovsky_en]

I am very worried about Vladimir Kara-Murza, who is not in the best of health after being poisoned twice. I am very worried about Ilya Yashin. Although he is a brave man who prepared for prison, for which I have great respect for him. I believe that if you are fighting this regime, you need to prepare carefully for that fight.

I am worried, of course, about Andrey Pivovarov and Alexey Pichugin. I understand that the regime has been killing, and it has no real reason to stop.

I have talked about this before, but I feel it needs to be repeated: Western nations must give Putin an ultimatum to release political prisoners, and refuse to recognize his legitimacy after the March 'election'. Do not enable gangsters.

[Alexandra Sukalo @AlexandraSukalo]

Can’t wait to read this. Well done @w_d_james!

[William D. James @w_d_james]

Delighted to share the cover of my forthcoming book with Oxford University Press. Look for it on the shelves in January 2024.

On this date in 1939, acting as the ally of Nazi Germany, the USSR invaded Poland, claiming that it was acting to protect national minorities and that the Polish state did not exist.
