Came to enjoy quietness of Sammamish lake park (first time here) before the storm of lightening-speed-quarter-system academic year at UW, and found myself in the middle of grazing-our-cows-with-my-cousins-in-the-fields-of-Konibodom-like place 🥹

Since the sanctions, EU-Russia trade has been flowing thru Central Asia – trade intermediary since before the CE. Here is another historical parallel. After a border dispute, the Qing suspends the direct Kiakhta rhubarb trade with Russia (1785–1792). It results in a detour, benefiting Central Asia.

Pleased with myself for coming up with (what it seems to me) a perfect title and a good enough argument for my paper on tarkhan (tax immunity) yarliqs from Khiva. Now the paper itself needs to be written down 🫣

This reminded me the premise of Marshall T. Poe’s The Russian Moment in World History… i.e., Russia really had to expand/be on the offense to defend herself from European imperialism…

My Persian class assigned us a voiceover project for finals using an episode from a film/cartoon/ad.
All those cartoons I watched with Sofia was not for nothing. I made Peppa Pig and her friends speak Persian. Quite proud of myself 😁
