@BrucePannier @SLonCentralAsia @thetimesoca @OxusSociety Thank you for inviting me to discuss this important topic in your podcast, Bruce!

[Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty @RFERL]

You didn’t see this one coming…🎤

Unstoppable R.E.M. is dropping a never-before-heard remix — “Radio Free Europe 2025” — in tribute to RFE/RL, at a time when our future is uncertain and funding unstable.

“Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light” - George Washington. Indeed very difficult times, and it will surely make us only stronger. Many thanks to those who believe in us, in our mission, and support us.

[Steve Capus @SteveCapus]

One of most difficult days in the proud history of @RFERL. We’re forced to furlough a large percentage of staff. USAGM, despite assurances, continues to withhold our Congressionally appropriated operating funds. We’re alive, but serving audiences with reduced staffing & funds

После начала полномасштабной аудитории в Таджикистане и Узбекистане начали больше доверять российским госканалам 🤔 🔔

“The widely-used term ‘post-Soviet’ should not be applied against Central Asia, as it will always be connecting the region with its diffcult past and can even determine its future evolution”. MediaCamp Fest in Almaty just started but is already promising to be quite interesting

@KamillaValieva С днем рождения! 🎉

[USAGM CEO @usagmceo]

The Kyrgyz government's escalating attacks on @RFERL's @Azattyk_Radiosu prove just how important their credible, fact-based journalism is.

Many thanks for your support in these uneasy times!

@AlixonovTimur ChatGPTdan:

Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, and think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.

Erkinlik bu subyektiv cheklangan baxt. Uning chegarasini anglay olish va kengaytira bilish uchun ilm, ko'proq kitob o'qish kerak.

@Mirsuljan Приезжай к нам. Вместе сходим

[Tolkun Umaraliev @tolkunkg]

@AKozhomuratov Congrats! Приходи в столовку, тут все уже празднуют без тебя!

[Tolkun Umaraliev @tolkunkg]

@KamillaValieva Не хочу казаться европеизированным снобом, но общественный транспорт это самая большая боль для меня, когда возвращаюсь в Кыргызстан. Нужно нанимать нормальных урбанистов с мировым опытом и дать им достаточно полномочий

“… they have persisted in their effort to provide an accurate picture of a terrible reality, doing honor to Ukraine and to journalists around the word.”

Поздравляю всех украинских коллег!

Congratulations to the journalists of #Ukraine. #Pulitzer

“for their courage, endurance, and commitment to truthful reporting during Vladimir Putin’s ruthless invasion of their country and his propaganda war in Russia. Despite bombardment, abductions, occupation, and even deaths in their ranks, …”

Как сейчас выглядит Мариуполь после российских обстрелов. Фото со спутника:

[Tolkun Umaraliev @tolkunkg]

Must-read материал о войне в Украине -- рассказы журналистов Associated Press, которые показывали всему миру, что творилось в Мариуполе последние несколько недель. Это те самые ребята, которые снимали последствия бомбардировки роддома в центре города https://t.co/YyHqTQye2C
