A little report on my first digitization project. So I completed making pictures of each page of the archive for Ukrainian Red Cross Abroad, 1939-45. You see it all in the box. It took me six working days. Now the new step - text recognition and playing with AI tools for research output.

On June 27, I participated online at #WHA convention at roundtable "Negotiated Humanitarianism: CARE packages and the Global History of US foreign aid during the Cold War." We hope to have our texts published soon! My share will be on CARE reaching millions of Indian schoolchildren in the 1960s.

Thank you for organizing the panel!
#ECAS2025, where @alilacandonga.bsky.social and I had wonderful two panels on medical socialist entanglements between Eastern Europe and Africa, including, among others, @severyandyakonov.bsky.social. Also heard some excellent talks on veterans, memory of anti-colonial wars and public health!

Thank you Prague and #ECAS2025 for the chance to share my work! It was especially entertaining to be hosted in the building where my research events happened in 1961. Look up for texts on Socialist Medical Entanglements in the decolonizing world in this OA special issue
