In the past 100 years every time when russia took under control new terrotories it implemented massive replacement of population, mass deportations and repressions.

A decree signed by Vladimir Putin forces Ukrainians in occupied territories to either obtain Russian citizenship or leave by September 10, 2025. In the latest #BehindTheLines, Elina Beketova reflects on the consequences of this move.

Behind the Lines: Russia Makes Ukrainians Foreigners in Their Own Country

Vladimir Putin has given Ukrainians until September to become Russian citizens or leave the occupied territories.

a very interesting paper on secondary internal displacement in #Ukraine "... trauma may encourage agency, resilience, and new opportunities for self-expression among twice displaced populations"

Marnie Howlett @marniehowlett.bsky.social · May 13

So thrilled to see this paper coauthored with Daryna Dvornichenko published in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies (JEMS)!

Drawing on 30 original interviews, we examine how Ukrainian women internally displaced twice because of Russia’s war against Ukraine understand and relate to “home.”

Losing and finding home twice: Ukrainian women’s experiences of secondary internal displacement

While much work examines internal displacement, little research has considered the phenomenon of ‘secondary internal displacement’, wherein internally displaced persons experience internal displace...

NBC reports that, shockingly, during his latest Moscow pilgrimage Witkoff met with Putin and his two negotiators alone and without his own interpreter, relying - in breach of protocol - on a locally present one www.nbcnews.com/world/russia.... However, this seems half the problem (1/n)

Trump envoy relied on Kremlin interpreter in meetings with Putin to end war in Ukraine

Using the Kremlin’s interpreter was “a very bad idea” that put Witkoff “at a real disadvantage,” Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, told NBC News.

Last night in Ukraine. Does this look like a Russian "peace plan" or some mission to end a war? All lies and deceptions. The US is complicit in this advanced stage of Kremlin terror, mass violence, and criminality.

US readouts of meetings with Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Riyadh.

Among points: US said it agreed with Ukraine and Russia teams "to develop measures for implementing" Trump's, Zelenskyy's and Putin's agreement "to ban strikes against energy facilities of Russia and Ukraine."

European military powers work on 5-to-10-year plan to replace US in NATO, FT reports

Europe's biggest military powers are drawing up plans to take on greater responsibilities for the continent's defence from the U.S., including a pitch to the Trump administration for a managed transfer over the next five to 10 years, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.

Holy moly. I'm trying to write an academic paper, and nearly every application I'm using is not only offering Generative AI as an option for writing, but *pushing it* -- pervading the design to the point where a simple misclick would make my content AI-generated. Here's why that's a problem. 🧵

“AI robs people of the opportunity to practice the process of making thoughtful and defensible decisions on their own.”

Been thinking a lot about this after my university’s decision to encourage students to use LLMs for ‘planning’ of assessments:

The hidden risk of letting AI decide – losing the skills to choose for ourselves

AI has the potential to diminish the human experience in several ways. One particularly concerning threat is to the ability to make thoughtful decisions.

I just read @efdavies.bsky.social essay on the complicity of the Russian literature. Precise, clear, necessary
efdavies.substack.com/p/why-russia...

Why Russian literature must lose its innocence

Germany's "Russia-complex" is linked to an uncritical adulation of Russian literature. The colonial mindset expressed in many Russian classics is too often overlooked.
