Russia bans Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, following years of harassment.
RFE/RL was invited into Russia in the 1990s. An era now ends.

Unbelievably brave post from Ilya Yashin, the other jailed opposition leader. He was close to both Navalny and Boris Nemtsov. “I feel dark void inside me. And understand my own risks. I’m behind bars. My life is in Putin’s hands, in danger. But I will continue to go my own way”

Will the dissident's death galvanise the scattered Russian opposition — or mark the moment of their definitive defeat? @Beerdaniel on the death of Navalny https://t.co/mV2HSM4HJx

Some thoughts on Navalny's death. https://t.co/72d3YOuT2A. The key point is this. Yes, Putin killed Navalny. But it's *not* Putin alone. It's the ugly subservience of the silent majority. No one but the Russians themselves are responsible for this sad state of affairs.

Some in @ucu think 'solidarity' means undermining support for people being subjected to horrific atrocities on a daily basis. @uculeft retweeted the graphic below twice today. Pitting victims of war against striking workers is the opposite of solidarity. I hope @ucu disowns this.

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.

Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama, has a sense of humor which is exactly my taste. Absolutely great.

🚨NEW: Birkbeck senior management are hiring lecturers on hourly paid, fixed-term contracts to cover the work of permanent staff who they have just laid off.

Shame on you, @BirkbeckUoL. This is the very worst of the sector.
