"Live. Fight. Survive." is a testimony of the brutality of the Russian war against Ukraine written by a British POW captured in Mariupol; but also an important resource for us who study motivations of foreigners who risk their lives for Ukraine, in a war that is not theirs.

“Don’t worry, Shaun Pinner; you’ll find discomfort and pain in this place, but you’ll be okay,” said the masked FSB agent. Stabbed, repeatedly electrocuted, tasered, beaten, mentally abused, in one word – tortured - @olddog100ua fought, survived, and lived to tell the story. 🧵
We have a paper out! Looking at Belarusian volunteers fighting for #ukraine. Link below!
"There won’t be a free Belarus without a free Ukraine." Our @FromRuswithWar paper about Belarusian volunteers fighting for Ukraine is out! Utilising data from my ethnographic fieldwork among Belarusian combatants.

As a recent terror attack in Iran has shown, the Islamic State has grown adept at appealing to radicalized people from Central Asia and mobilizing them into action against its perceived enemies, both inside Afghanistan and abroad. eurasianet.org/iran-attack-s…
As we approach the ten year mark for the War in Ukraine, it’s worth watching this documentary - particularly if you’re interested in our research into Foreign Fighters, as attitudes have evidently changed drastically:

Update: have now had more requests for comment than I can handle (but I'm trying). Remaining business: please get my pronouns right. @haaretzcom I'm looking at you. They/them
There was no tweet announcing this from this account… because the person running it was on the first panel!
We heard from @AlexJYeoo, Elena Zhirukhina and Noah Tucker on Returnees in the Former Soviet Union!
