Вчера защитники России решили захватить власть в России. Поэтому другие защитники России полетели убивать первых защитников России, но те их сами убили. А Герой России Пригожин ехал убивать Героя России Шойгу. Из-за этого Герой России Кадыров ехал убивать Героя России Пригожина. А ещё из-за этого Герой России Бортников возбудил дело против Героя России Пригожина, но тут же закрыл его. Потому что самый главный герой России Путин сначала гарантировал, что предатели понесут наказание, а потом гарантировал, что не понесут. А на тех самых первых защитников, которых убили, всем наплевать. Главное, что все защитники и герои, и можно продолжать гордиться тем, какие у России героические защитники.

I am terrible at Twitter, but wow I am grateful I had it last night. Reassuring to see I wasn't alone in my complete bewilderment.

Off to London to teach on the Education During Emergency Situations module, and watching this on loop on the train because I am a consummate professional: instagram.com/reel/CnK9w3TJJ… Laughed so hard, I think the other passengers have taken some steps back.

Today has been one of those full-on days, where there have been a million tasks, and yet I haven't gotten to any of the work I actually had scheduled in... It's going to be a late one, I think.

Seconded. Even if you're only picking it up now, this is well worth reading.
On my shelf since 2018… shamefully only just read this by @ArkadyOstrovsky. In many ways more interesting post-24th Feb ‘22. Highly recommend it if you want to understand media manipulation in #Russia and the relative ease of maintaining #Putin’s cult of personality. #Ukraine

After an evening of reading predictions of imminent state collapse and civil war in Russia and its geopolitical implications, I'm picking up "My name is Lucy Barton". I don't know how I would sleep without literary fiction.

Another lovely one

Well, this was wonderful. Special thanks to my @CEID_IOE MA EID students for motivating me to read this over the break. Looking forward to chatting over the book in January.

На последнем суда меня конвоировали с доберманом, который бешено лаял и рвался с цепи. Написал небольшой пост о том, как дрессируют собак в нашей тюремной системе: t.me/yashin_russia/565
