Thanks @georgegilbert.bsky.social for the invitation to speak at Southampton today. It was good to have the chance to talk Armenia and histories of displacement, and to share some of the images I’ve found during the years I’ve been researching this topic.

Does anyone have access to this article? John D. Klier, “‘Traditional Russian Religious Antisemitism’: A Useful Concept or a Barrier to Understanding?,” Jewish Quarterly 46, 2 (1999), pp. 29–34 No payment offered, sadly, apart from my undying love and respect, cheers.

Welcome to my new followers. All suggestions for the below s/p welcome.

Today's "Anti-War March" in Berlin, led by Navalnaya, Kara-Murza & Yashin seems an appropiate day to re-publish my essay on why the West and in particular Germany should take a closer look at the self-proclaimed leaders of the Russian opposition in English:
