On #COP29 - yes, rich countries should do more to help poor countries deal with climate change. But the rich countries are democracies and very few governments have (or would get) a mandate to do it. There isn’t an obvious way to square this circle.

As we’re talking about the Lebedevs again, a reminder that a few years ago Lebedev Sr wrote a memoir called Hunt the Banker, and I read it so you don’t have to. Come for the insane economic conspiracy theories, stay for the advice on pole dancing and prostitution.

This platform is quite puritan. I tried to share an article about a scandal over a topless photo shoot in a Polish state-controlled mine and it was blocked as adult content. Shame, as it was a good contender for most CEE story ever.
