As it looks now, Serbia's major oil company, NIS, majority owned by Gazprom and GazpromNeft, might fall under the new US sanctions on 25 Feb.
Thus far the three-way negotiations have not yielded results, as Russian side won't sell assets and the US side won't delay /1

Odlaganje roka ili uvođenje sankcija NIS-u, šta je realnije?
Američke sankcije Naftnoj industriji Srbije (NIS) za sada zvanično stupaju na snagu 25. februara, odnosno za desetak dana.

Very pleased to share an article I wrote for @conteurohistory.bsky.social based on my research on the Russian brigades sent to the Macedonian front during #WW1. Drawing on French and Russian archives, I try to explain why #Russia sent troops on such a distant front. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

We are delighted to announce the Call for Papers of our next Society Conference to be held at the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki on 1-3 October 2025.

We are also hosting an open online Q&A event with the organisers on Mon 3rd Feb at 5pm GMT: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/society-co... 🗃️
Call for Papers: International Society for the First World War Studies Conference, 1-3 October 2025 SEAS The International Society for First World War Studies and the Department of Balkan, Slavic & Oriental Studies at the University of Macedonia are delighted to announce ISFWWS’ 11th conference, to be held at the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki on 1-3 October 2025. The city Thessaloniki played a very special role in the history of the First World War both as a base of the Entente, Serbian and Greek troops and as a port. However, as often happens with the naval dimension of the First World War, its maritime role often remained overlooked. To rectify that, this year the conference will focus on the naval side of the war with the broad theme of ‘Seas’. We will be happy to consider proposals touching on any maritime aspects of the war, in the broadest possible sense and we would like to encourage historians, who do not usually focus on the naval side of the war, to find connections with it in their own research. Potential subjects may include, but not limited to: ● naval and maritime history of the war ● amphibious operations ● port cities and coastal areas ● maritime journeys during the war ● economics and logistics (supply, naval blockade and its effects, etc) ● naval and maritime technology ● naval thinking and naval theories developed during and after the war ● social and cultural histories of all belligerent navies ● civilians at sea during the war ● commemoration and memory of maritime aspects of the war ● representation of naval aspects of the war in art, literature, film, computer games, etc. ● environmental history of the seas and coastal areas during the war We are also happy to inform applicants that for those willing we will be able to organise a thematic field trip to the island of Lemnos on 4-5 October (for additional fee). We particularly welcome proposals from early career researchers. There will also be a mentoring programme to help postgraduate and early career researchers develop their papers for publication. Accommodation for all participants will be generously provided by the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki. There will also be several bursaries available for the early career scholars and independent researchers. All presenters will be expected to become members of the Society before the conference date. The working language of the conference and all submissions is English. The organisers intend to publish the proceedings of this conference. Paper Selection: Potential presenters are encouraged to submit a 300-word abstract of their paper accompanied by a one-page CV to isfwws2025@gmail.com by 1 May 2025. If you have any questions about the conference, please, email Dr Sofya Anisimova at sofya.anisimova@ucd.ie. If your proposal is accepted a 2500-3000 word short paper will be due 1 September 2025 in order for papers to be pre-circulated and have as much time as possible dedicated to discussion.
