Devo dire la verità: @brankomilan.bsky.social non mi garba molto, dice cose che non voglio sentire, gli piace distruggere e a me costruire... ma quasi sempre ha ragione lui.
Qui la recensione del suo ultimo libro a cura di @andreacapussela.bsky.social

They also wrote a biography of Andropov and super interesting book contrasting Sakharov and Solzhenitsyn, both of whom they knew very well.

Thus their writings combine archival knowledge and events as experienced and lived by real people.
In the 1970s, I read their "Let History Judge". It was published before Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago".

A very sad news.
Roy Medvedev died yesterday in Moscow.
Perhaps of all historians of Stalinism I liked Roy and Zhores Medvedev the most. Like Tacitus, they had access to documents, but they also had access to people who lived under Stalin & Khrushchev etc. (including their family) & themselves.

Scatter plots are cool! Inspired by @brankomilan.bsky.social's excellent *Visions of Inequality* , I drew some as alternative ways of visualising historic #econsky social tables of income and population by class. Blog post, with #rstats code, at freerangestats.info/blog/2026/02... 1/n

Well, @brankomilan.bsky.social’s insomnia has produced a positive externality for the rest of us (undoubtedly with net positive benefit!)—a taxonomy of economists working on inequality and redistribution, neatly captured in a diagram by @rszarfenberg.bsky.social:
