How does Russia’s war on Ukraine affect historical research?

As Ukrainian archives face existential threats and Russian ones become inaccessible, the traditional geography of (post-)Soviet research is shifting. The new "Decentered Archive" blog invites reflection on the profound impact of the war on archives, fieldwork, and the production of knowledge itself.

In all den Jahrzehnten des kalten Krieges, hat niemand darüber nachgedacht was eigentlich passiert wenn Russland und die USA zusammenarbeiten.

@Ukrainenews It makes me so sad, what the #terroruzzian #waragainstukraine has done to this country.

The chant is very impressive. What a #choir is singing?

The juxtaposition in the BBC report on the Ukrainian war just now was pretty stark.

First, footage of a destroyed Russian convoy of military vehicles inside Russian territory. Cut away, with the anchor saying, "Meanwhile, Russia has attacked a supermarket in the Ukrainian region of Donetsk."

A microcosm of the two sides' strategic approaches during this conflict.

The emergence of tiresome oh-so-wise critics of the west's support for Ukraine as their fate worsens (due largely to US Republicans' efforts) is as predictable as it is loathsome.

Simon Jenkins should get quite completely in the bin for going along with it.

Nato is growing reckless over Ukraine – and Russia’s German military leak proves it

An intercepted meeting on sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine suggests the west is on the brink of a risky and futile escalation, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

The Guardian

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of Russia's incursion into Ukraine.

Not to excuse the US Republicans who are rightly being blamed for the current holdup on support, but man, with hindsight, we really should have rallied to support the Ukrainians to a far greater degree than we did way back then.

Joe Biden Could Send Millions Of Artillery Shells To Ukraine, For Free, Tomorrow. And It’s Perfectly Legal.

There’s a bureaucratically complex but perfectly legal way for the administration of Pres. Joe Biden to send to Ukraine the thing Ukrainian brigades need most. Shells.

Forbes

A harrowing but necessary read. With dwindling support and supply from the west, and a nightmare looming for them due to the conduct of US Republicans, Ukrainians' resolve and fighting spirit is still an inspiration.

"If you think that after all this we are looking forward to a cease-fire, you are dead wrong."

God, I wish we could do more.

'We'll Fight Until We're Dead': With Dwindling Ammunition, Ukrainian Soldiers Defend Their Gains

Russian troops are pressing on Ukrainian forces along much of the front, including in the Zaporizhzhya region, where Kyiv’s counteroffensive halted last year. Soldiers stationed in the area for over 17 months are fighting to hold the line amid mounting problems from morale to a shortage of shells.
