Yesterday's attack on the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is more than another wartime headline. It is an assault on one of the most important sites in the history of Orthodox Christianity 1/5.

Každý ví, že obor Klasická filologie / Starořečtina je jen záminkou pro to otrávit myšlení dnešní mládeže výukou homosexualismu, obžerstvím a prostopášnou nevěrou!

In Moscow's Shadows 237: How A 1552 Siege Explains A 2022 Invasion
I've a new book out next week, Siege of Kazan 1552: Ivan the Terrible breaks the Kazan khanate (@OspreyBooks), so I look at that campaign and then draw comparisons with Putin's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The latter doesn't come off well... https://t.co/wGUtwNnz54

“Civilians are not killed at scale because urban warfare makes restraint impossible. They are killed when the protection of civilian life is not treated as a governing requirement of how force is applied.” https://t.co/D9vKs5BP7F

According to Turkish Wikipedia they claim that 200,000 Romans fought at Manzikert, when in reality it was more like 20,000.

It was a great and consequential victory for the Seljuks, why feel the need to add the lie?

‘One of the oldest urban centres on the planet’: Gaza’s rich history in ruins.

My @guardian piece on the erasure of Gaza's past. As we mourn incalculable human losses, learning about its past can help us better understand the present

A thread on the battle scenes in Stanley Kubrick's 1975 Barry Lyndon. The film turns 50 this year.

In many ways, I think war films set in this period might have regressed in quality. These battle scenes from 1975 are better than anything we have had since. 1/16

Few symbols are as Venetian as the lion on a column in the Piazzetta beside St Mark’s Basilica. But new research shows it may not be Venetian at all - its copper traces point to Tang dynasty China🦁 1/5

A glimpse into the final decades of Ottoman Constantinople, the city was modernizing yet its Greek/Rum community was still strong!

One can see other international signs in the photo as well.
