An important story by @polinaivanovva that does a lot to explain why the disastrous invasion of Ukraine has given Putin a big boost domestically – and why the Kremlin may feel incentivized to keep the war machine running hot as long as it can

@filetmignon_kim Thank you, Minyoung!

Glad to see my two solo-authored papers accepted by Communist and Post-Communist Studies and Post-Soviet Affairs. It means a lot for an 'outsider' to receive the recognition by respected journals in Eurasian studies! Can't wait for the print version & discussions to come.

An anti-Soviet liberal regime to be in memorial of the victims of a Soviet repression, who at first took to the streets because they were furious about the denaunciation of the biggest repressor of the Soviet regime ever. Gosh history is fun.

Had my first (sort of) interview at the Kirovakan Chemical Factory area and felt like all of my language study is for this moment🏭

When I was checking the Party archive in Kazakhstan, I noticed some statistical reports, at the rayon-level, documenting how many CPSU members *dropped out* of the party in 1990. Yet this time in Yerevan, I failed to find something similarly for the Armenian SSR. What a pity!

Rewriting the past. This history book for Russian children says Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin was “honest…he sincerely wanted his people to live better” and doesn’t blame Stalin for the mass repressions and terror.
