I gave an online lecture to 85 students at a Ukrainian writing academy last night. Their positivity and commitment were inspiring. Trump must not be permitted to force the world to betray these people. cc @avindman.bsky.social @peterjukes.bsky.social @mcfaulmike.bsky.social and anyone who can help

Trump lacks any level of basic decency or decorum. There have been some sleazy occupants of the White House to be frank but this man will corrode all humanity in the US if he is left in power.

Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861) may have been the only major nineteenth century European poet ever to have been owned by another human being. Tsar Nicholas I personally wrote on the order condemning him to exile that Shevchenko was “forbidden to write or to paint” (Plokhy 49). (22/48)

This is a gross untruth, yet it means that Ukrainian is reflexively treated as inferior.
However, Ukrainian literature has distinct qualities that renders it neither better, nor worse, than Russian, but merely different. (21/48)

His work, with its mystic overtones, was ignored by the Soviets. Starting from the mid-1960s, interest in his writing has revived in the Ukrainian diaspora, but he remains relatively unknown. (17/48)

The US is now supporting the genocide of Ukraine against the wishes of many of its people but they are responsible until they collectively halt the actions of a president running continuous attacks on Ukraine be they informational, diplomatic, or as in this case espionage. A Russian spy runs America
EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

The story of a girl growing up in a Ukrainian village... the book recreates a vanished world where gypsies sang their way over the Steppe and the postman, a KGB informer hurled the mail at your gate...

I was shocked. He sounded as though he had taken drugs or joined a cult. Completely crazy.

@ottoenglish.bsky.social @peterjukes.bsky.social @carolecadwalla.bsky.social Britain need to free its media of oligarchic ownership. This must be done during the russian genocide war on Ukraine along with the cleaning out of the the cult of Tolstoyevsky, the Pushkin (Shit)House etc etc.
Indeed and the failure to displace Rothermere and Beaverbrook, key to the cultural and media aggression of the Nazis against the UK is biting us in the arse now. Farage is Mosley- and the inheritors of those media oligarchies are supposedly anti Russian but pro Brexit ....

My caveat here is that we know what they did, what they do, and how they do it and who is involved. We are way past the point of chatter. This is like investigating the links between Mosley and Hitler while the Nazis slaughtered their way through Poland. We need action NOW.
Lib Dem leader Edward Davey calls for a national investigation into Russian political interference in British politics:
"Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?"
Starmer: "Reform is riddled with pro-Putin propaganda"
