▶️ Russian speakers are less willing to fight for Latvia than ethnic Latvians.
▶️This is driven by greater Soviet nostalgia. Russian speakers in Latvia are less likely to see Russia as responsible for the war against Ukraine, which reduces their willingness to fight.

Why do some autonomy disputes suddenly turn into secessionist explosions?💥
@felixschulte.bsky.social, @mscanti.bsky.social & Maria Ackrén show that it is not just institutions or long-term grievances, but also triggering events that signal a loss of autonomy and change everything.

Russian repression against Crimean #Tatars in occupied Ukraine follows a pattern.
Using a new geo-coded event dataset, researchers Elmira Muratova & @felixschulte.bsky.social map human rights violations & explain why repression is often carried out on Thursdays. More on the #KonKoop DataLab blog ⤵️
