Russia's most stolen book in 2023 was Orwell's "1984." In 2025? The Russian constitution guaranteeing free speech.

Russians "read Orwell for reality, the constitution as a beautiful utopia." History repeating as tragedy and farce. 7X

Any Ukraine deal without real security guarantees — permanent troop deployments, access to frozen Russian assets, real enforcement — is just "a sizzling fuse."

Putin, like Stalin, won't stop unless forced. 6/

Before Stalin attacked Finland, Molotov admitted negotiations were "never anything but a long fuse."

If Finland accepted Soviet demands? "We'll only ask for more until we've taken the whole country." Today's Stalinist in the Kremlin is no different. 5/

Putin's "special military operation" (calling it a war means prison) has now lasted longer than Russia's entire involvement in WWII.

Russia controls just 20% of Ukrainian territory it held four years ago. Putin has "surely defined success down."

Molotov said Stalin wanted to celebrate his birthday "on the steps of Finland's Parliament in precisely 20 days." 2/
The war ended March 13, 1940 — over three months later with massive Soviet losses the Kremlin concealed.

Stalin had to settle for a fraction of what he wanted. Sound familiar? 3/

#Putin invaded #Ukraine expecting a quick victory parade. 4 years later, Russia controls just 20% of pre-war Ukrainian territory — WP. 1/

#Stalin's USSR had 170 million people vs #Finland's 3.5 million. A Soviet general told Stalin it would take 10 days max.

Stalin expected to crush Finland in 10 days. It took 105 days and 400,000 Soviet casualties. He got 10% of Finnish territory.

I love this pulse of life,
this scent of books.
Yes, we’re living through a very hard winter,
but we will get through it.

Greetings from Kyiv and
a rare moment when lights are shining from everywhere.
As it should be.
Generators are resting.

Friday evening.

Sometimes I can’t even imagine how different our lives are – yours and mine.
Perhaps I’ve already forgotten.

Greetings from Kyiv
and warcoffee.

Thank you to those who worried.
I’m fine, just needed a bit of offline time.
It’s been a calm day here, and that’s a blessing.
Snow and frost are expected.

Have a gentle Sunday.
