Thanks @uclssees.bsky.social @ioe.bsky.social & @basees.bsky.social for organising #iccees2025. I contributed by presenting on “Russia's revisionist foreign policy and the false diaspora discourse in Germany” and chairing a panel on “Peace, Democracy and International Relations After the Cold War”.

#ICCEES2025 day 5: This final day was packed, with Azerbaijan’s new Left, emigré Euromaidan participants, possible future(s) for Crimea & Ukraine's minorities in wartimes among our topics.

This week at the #ICCEES2025, I spoke about a stork as a messenger of spring and wonder, an ancestor who always finds its way home, and a body that bleeds and dies in the war. Grateful to other panelists, everyone who listened, and to all the friends I made in London!

Really happy about this little tradition of dedicated @basees.bsky.social - @zois.bsky.social Roundtables! Covered a lot of ground in the discussion based on a range of very different but interconnected projects on the agency and uncertainties among displaced Ukrainians.

Back from #ICCEES2025 in London where we had a great conference: stimulating panels and debates, meeting with old and new colleagues and friends… Lots of projects in the pipeline! I even managed not to buy too many books. 📚

The people in the photo enjoy spending time reading through kilometres of documents produced by the secret services, trying to extract any trace of meaning from them. It was a great joy to co-organise a panel on preventative policing and repression in the USSR and Czechoslovakia at #ICCEES2025

We were glad to be able to reflect on issues of agency and how to conduct research on this topic and see familiar faces at this Roundtable with @basees.bsky.social.
