One of my missions is to bring Ukrainian topics into global conversations and debates. To this end, I have already conducted dozens of podcast conversations with leading intellectuals from around the world on @ukraine_world , the English-language platform I lead. And I intend to develop this further.

A large part of this work is my podcast series Thinking in Dark Times. You can support it at https://t.co/HkYznDB6Bg

My latest guest was @FareedZakaria , a prominent Indian-born American intellectual and journalist, and one of CNN’s leading voices.

We lost David Graeber six years ago today, but the work is unstoppable. He’d have wanted me to hurry up and get on with the next instalment of our new history of humanity, so .. it’s back to work. RIP, dear David.

[David Wengrow @davidwengrow]

Solid proof that this place is now effectively dead for those of us without blue ticks: a few years ago I’d have been flooded with comments/suggestions (kindly don’t respond to or like this post, as it would weaken my point.)

[David Wengrow @davidwengrow]

Is anyone aware of a detailed obituary or intellectual biography of Igor Kopytoff?
