A great new article on Stalinist repression, 1937-45, showing how Soviet women formed a significant and systematically targeted group, and more so than previously understood.

Visited Eisenhüttenstadt yesterday and had a chance to look at the very well curated exhibition about the contradictions of the “international solidarity” in the GDR.

The socialist classicist city hall of Eisenhüttenstadt. Built in 1953 when the city was still known as Stalinstadt - it was meant to be one of several monumental buildings in the city, though it was the only one ever completed.

If only someone studied these kinds of questions...

Interesting ad found in June 1995 of the Revolutionary Communist Party's Living Marxism magazine. A symposium on 1990s internet culture, held at the famous Hacienda nightclub in Manchester, sponsored by LM and Cyberia (the UK's first internet cafe and co-founded by at least one member of the RCP).

Hinweis 9 Christoph Links hat ein neues, sehr interessantes Buch über verschwundenen Verlage in der DDR vorgelegt. Wie die taz-Überschrift meiner Rezension zeigt, geht es dabei aber um weitaus mehr – ein Buch gegen die Ostdeutschtümler und DDR-Verklärer (wochentaz vom 14.3.2026)
