I'm currently writing an updated version of my chapter on the digitalisation of Russian politics and will add a section on the use of digital technologies in occupation (2014-present). What topics, studies or researchers should I make sure to include?

Of course, other suggestions for studies (or topics or key events) I should incorporate in the updated chapter are very much welcome as well! And please feel free to self-promote.

Apple losing an antitrust lawsuit and paying a >$13 million fine suddenly sounds quite different when the recipient of that sum is Russia.

There has been a similar case against Google. Both are remnants of pre-2022 dynamics: Russian tech companies seeking leverage over US competitors.

Apple is suing (appealing) the European Commission to the European Court of Justice. It disagrees with the "gatekeeper" designation as understood by the Digital Markets Act (DMA). There are more such appeals. The DMA immediately went to the ECJ. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/PL/TXT/HTML/?uri=OJ:C_202400563

Met de bekendmaking dat Poetin zich opnieuw kandidaat stelt werd vorige week de campagne voor de Russische presidentsverkiezingen afgetrapt. De uitslag staat al vast. Toch staat er wel degelijk wat op het spel. Ik sprak erover met het AD (betaalmuur)

Zo wint Poetin (weer) in 2024: ‘Boodschap zal ook nu zijn dat Rusland zonder hem terugzakt’

De afgevaardigden van de heersende partij in Rusland hebben unaniem hun steun uitgesproken voor de herverkiezingspoging van president Vladimir Poetin tijdens een partijconferentie in Moskou. Toch zijn de verkiezingen een heikel moment voor het Kremlin. Ruslandkenner Mariëlle Wijermars schijnt haar licht op de president. ,,Je kunt moeilijk zeggen dat hij in Oekraïne een mooie overwinning heeft behaald.’’
