Joyous production of #intheheights by Grand Street Settlement at the @LoisaidaInc #festival @Lin_Manuel take note. @Loisaida_OSCC
Thanks again to the @ShevchenkoSoc and @globalrhizome for inviting me to be the discussant on the first panel, on the history of forerunners of the society and the tension between science and reaching the masses. Happy 150th! Good to see @steven_seegel talk on his project.

This is a great way to learn Ukrainian. I did this many years ago.
It's a cold, windy, winter day in Cambridge but summer IS coming! Registration opens on March 4 for all our 2024 HUSI courses @HarvardSummer Learn more about #HUSI2024 and apply for a SCHOLARSHIP by MARCH 14! @HarvardSlavic @DCRES_Harvard @channelljustice huri.harvard.edu/harvard-ukr…
Is the new isolationism in the US a contraction of the moral sphere of Americans? At the event @cooperunion yesterday, there was talk about how the moral sphere of Ukrainians expanded from the family to the nation, but @yermolenko_v @Kristina__Hook @avalaina @ShevchenkoSoc 1/4
Maybe the message can still get through. It feels like there’s only a shortish window after an event where Americans will care about somewhere else, but then it closes. I wish it weren’t that way, but it is. The @razomforukraine billboard in Johnson’s home district is a 3/4
This is a great opportunity to continue the discussion about decolonizing the field. Oleksa is a pleasure to work with. I’d encourage any scholars interested to take part. @irgarner @ksvarnon

via @NYTOpinion - Navalny told Akunin that participation in the battle of good versus neutrally was the most impactful thing. Now he belongs to the ages. nytimes.com/2024/02/17/opini…
Watching a great talk by @JohnVsetecka at @HURI_Harvard about the legacies of the Holodomor. He did archival research and found a trove of evidence from those who lived through it. Heartbreaking photos from a father who couldn’t get over son’s death. @oonuch @PopovaProf

To do today: 1. Call your representative in Congress to ask them to #PassUkraineAidNow 2. Find 3 people you know and convince them to do the same thing.
Democracy is a participatory sport. Don't lose it. Practice it.
The fate of the Ukrainian people and the security of America's allies in Europe are now in the hands of @SpeakerJohnson. If he allows a vote, this aid package for Ukraine will pass.
@razomforukraine's full statement on the Senate's passage of supplemental aid for Ukraine.
Hope, then nope - how one of my students described Russia post 1991. A 30-year historical arc in 3 words. @PopovaProf @ODrachewych @JohnVsetecka @irgarner

Is Richard Pipes the rejected father of Russian history in the US or a sort of embarrassing uncle? Much time has been spent defining the field in opposition to him. What are the implications? @steven_seegel @ksvarnon @ODrachewych @lydiatomkiw
Those interested in decolonizing the field should read the @aseeestudies presidential address and also an interesting essay from a grad student who went to Italy to research Gorky. Decentering Russian archives is part of this. @ODrachewych @ksvarnon @JohnVsetecka @abimperio
January Issue of NewsNet cover article: "'Everything Exists to Be Told': Archival Research in Unfamiliar Places" by Aaron M. Thompson.

Thompson offers his research on Gorky in Italian archives as a case study in non-traditional exploration for research.
As a Russian historian, I’ve been told to avoid being anti-Russian. How does this thought discipline the discipline? @ODrachewych @JohnVsetecka @steven_seegel @ksvarnon
I was interviewed on a podcast about Gorbachev and the end of the USSR. Take a look.
