Nu är det officiellt! Jag har ihop med Åsa Benteke Werner och @nilsjohan3 idag - 150 år sedan Rilkes födelse - grundat det svenska Rilkesällskapet. Nyfiken? Mejla oss på: rilkesallskapet[at]https://t.co/AuPNFbTqha
I dagarna är det 70 år sedan motboken röstades bort i riksdagen. Lite i skymundan kom samtidigt ett annat beslut: starkölet släpptes åter fritt. @nilsjohan3 skriver om hur politiken under lång tid slog undan benen för lokala bryggerier och svensk ölkultur.

Ten outcomes of our talks with @SwedishPM Ulf Kristersson.
1. We agreed to work on the joint production of CV-90s armoured vehicles in Ukraine.
2. Ukrainian warriors began training to operate Swedish “Archers”.
3. Ukrainian pilots are already taking part in testing “Gripen” fighter aircraft. We discussed further steps to transfer them to Ukraine.
4. We are preparing the transfer of Sweden’s new, 13th security assistance package.
5. Sweden joined the Peace Formula, more specifically its items on the restoration of nuclear safety, justice, environment protection, and humanitarian mine clearance.
6. Ukraine will be ready to open EU accession talks this year and we have Sweden’s support on our path to the EU.
7. Our teams will discuss the bilateral document on security guarantees following the G7 Declaration last month.
8. Sweden stands ready to provide advanced water pumping systems to restore water supply after Russian terror act at the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Plant.
9. Sweden will take active part in Ukraine’s recovery, including with the engagement of private capital.
10. Ukraine counts on Sweden, Swedish regions and companies taking patronage over Ukrainian regions and spheres which require recovery after Russian strikes.
I am grateful to Sweden for its firm and consistent support. Together, we protect life, freedom, and our common values.
Odesa. Haus der Wissenschaftler. Ein Kulturjuwel von Weltrang. Die “grosse Kulturnation” Russland hat unser Museum mit Raketen beschossen. Gezielt. Kulturlosigkeit pur. Wo bleibt der Aufschrei von Empörung, Leute?😡Stellt euch mal vor:
die Museumsinsel würde wieder bombardiert🤬
🚨 Tonight Russia destroyed the Transfiguration Orthodox Cathedral, a protected UNESCO World Heritage site, with a targeted precision cruise missile strike.
1794 - The Transfiguration Cathedral in Odessa was built.
1936 - Blown up by Stalin's Bolsheviks.
2002-2010 - Rebuilt from scratch by a free Ukraine.
2023 - Destroyed again by Putin's fascists.
Odesa’s main Orthodox cathedral. Established in 1794, destroyed by Stalin in 1936, rebuilt under an independent Ukraine and destroyed again by Putin in 2023. One of several historical parts of central Odesa, a UNESCO world heritage site, hit by Russian missiles strikes today.
Vänta nu! Den briljante översättaren Ingvar Björkeson, som jag trodde var odödlig, avled i april i år?! Kan inte minnas att jag läst hyllningar till honom och hans ovärderliga gärning. Nog måste det ha skrivits om honom i de stora tidningarna? Visst måste jag bara missat detta?
De senaste decennierna har svenska kyrkogårdars kulturarv förstörts och förskingrats. Men med fler kulturgravar och nya domar som stärker skyddet av kyrkogårdarna är en vändning på väg, skriver @nilsjohan3 i senaste Axess Magasin. https://t.co/c6EcKFRBlp
@maggiewillrise @EngstrT If you go there try to get in touch with Dr Oxana Matiychuk. She is an excellent source for the history of the Bucovina region.
@maggiewillrise @EngstrT It has been a wonderful development in recent years with lots of cooperation, research and activities exploring this common European heritage. Just think of the wonderful university in Chernivtsi. This photo also dates from 2005.
@maggiewillrise @EngstrT And ”the last German”, Johann Schlamp. He was a singer in his youth and had vivid memories of the 1920s musical life in Chernivtsi.
@maggiewillrise @EngstrT On my first visit in 2005, I met several great people, such as the Yiddish poet Josef Burg, who was born in a small town close to Tjernivtsi in 1912 and survived all the wars.
