To defeat the enemy, you must first understand them.

That is how Oleksandr sees his work.

Once a Russian #philologist – someone who studies the history of languages – he now studies the people who are invading his homeland and threatening his loved ones.

Interestingly, "feeling their oats" may not be directly related to "sowing their wild oats." Not sure.
Where's a #philologist when you need one???

#introduction I've been a techie #academic #librarian since 2001: link resolver, ezproxy, #digitization, #digitalpreservation. Now I'm in the #DigitalScholarshipCentre, teaching & consulting on anything digital & scholarly. I'm a #philologist underneath (Ph.D. on #medievalLatin lit). My research is half #digitalscholarship / #digitalhumanities tools, half a blog / #biography on my g'father #RobertCBinkley (d.1940), who pioneered a lot of what I do, but in the twilight of the #predigital age.
