Finished the 1st book of the year on x-mas holiday, and what a read!! Recommend Alexei Navalnys posthumous biography «Patriot» to absolutely everyone. Such a page turner! A true crime (written by the victim himself) and deep insight into Russia, propaganda, Putin, dictatorships and true bravery 💙📚

🧵Also interesting to read how we humans find ways of differentiating us vrs them. Due to the large number of internally displaced people, a negativity towards people from other parts of the country grew. Even within the same religion ie how catholic holidays were to be properly celebrated. 5/6 💙📚

🧵Different cities had different strategies for clearing out the rubble and rebuilding. In Frankfurt chemists found a way to make a useful material -sinterbims- of the rubble, which could then be sold and reused in making concrete. This became essential in rebuilding the Frankfurt economy. 4/6 💙📚

🧵In Germany in 1945 there were 40 million internally displaced people. Civilians, KZ lager survivors, prisoners of war. Thus in ‘48 a law decided that those who owned homes/fortunes at the time was to give away half (!). This was then redistributed to the invalids and displaced 2/6💙📚

🧵Finished reading Aftermath by Harald Jähner. Great book on how to build up a country after a devastating war. Might sound like a depressing read in these days but actually gives hope on how it might be possible to rebuild war torn areas in like Ukraine or Gaza today🙏🏻 #booksky 1/6
