My brilliant colleague @atolvin.bsky.social wrote an intriguing piece on Russian troop morale for Foreign Policy and immediately received some major endorsements.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome @atolvin.bsky.social's debut piece in Foreign Policy, on how the ingrained violence of Russia's military system helps explain both acquiescence in the meatgrinder and atrocities toward its victims.

Keep writing please.

I had the opportunity to comment on Russian reactions to the ceasefire suggestion on Finnish morning TV (MTV Huomenta Suomi). My perspective is based on media presentations, which aim to convey confidence in the Kremlin's position.
