Help a book review editor out! Who is working on post-Soviet and contemporary Russian media (news, internet, digital media, etc.) who might be interested in reviewing books for @russianreview.bsky.social? Hoping to update my list because right now it is pretty small.

Haven't seen one of these for SHAFR / US in the World people, so thought I'd make one given that I'm currently trapped under a cat. Happy to add people!
