In #Russia, former president @MedvedevRussia wrote on social media claiming that the Kremlin intended not only to capture Kyiv and “Little Russia” (Russian chauvinist name for #Ukraine) but also reconquer other nations of the former USSR, including #Georgia and #Kazakhstan:

I’ve seldom heard/seen anything so moving as this huge crowd in Tbilisi, singing in support of Ukraine. And scroll down to see a similarly vast demonstration in Prague. And more than 100,000 people (some say 500,000) in Berlin rallied for Ukraine.

Incredible Georgian people who understand that friends must be supported! 🇬🇪🇺🇦 Grateful to everyone in Tbilisi and other cities who came out in support of Ukraine and against the war. Indeed, there are times when citizens are not the Government, but better the Government.

For those who haven't seen the show, it presents fictional Beth Harmon as the "1st female chess player" competing against males, while radio comments about N. G. "playing only with women". I guess it served the plot, on what cost though? Sabotaging feminist narrative in the end?

@netflix's #TheQueensGambit isn't fateful to the historically accurate depiction of women in chess. Based on a novel by W. Tevis, the miniseries isn't even true to the BOOK, #NonaGaprindashvili played in mens' tournaments / have some respect for a living legend!

After 30 years we can proudly say: #Erasmus in one of the greatest unifying achievements in the history of our Union.

And it is right that the European budget agreed by the European Council includes a 55% increase for Erasmus.

This is money well spent!

6 months have passed since @NDI 's last data and @edisonresearch is in to fill the gap. Looks like #GD is getting an overwhelming majority this Fall on the expanse of smaller parties and #UNM score is mostly stable.
