Happy to be part of this special issue on Russian women’s anti-war activism after February 2022 in Communist and Post-Communist Studies. Important work on gender, protest, and activism in wartime Russia. Edited by Regina Smyth & Veronica Kostenko. Check it out here👇 lnkd.in/euEaUpgq

🚨 Our paper with @vetasergeeva.bsky.social on how Russian wartime emigrants decide whom to help flee the country is finally out in Perspectives on Politics! Open access 👇

New article out in Communist and Post-Communist Studies. Based on 56 interviews with activists of the Feminist Anti-War Resistance, it looks at how feminist anti-war activism in exile works with grief, guilt, and exhaustion to sustain political engagement over time. The article is now open access.

Early December was spent in Nairobi at the workshop “Gender, Peace and Security: Resistance and Resilience”, where I presented a co-authored paper with @emilkamalov.bsky.social and Ivetta Sergeeva on the reverse gender gap in transnational activism among post-2022 Russian emigrants.
