It's been 4 days but I'm still so mad I have to write about it. On 29 April, Sergei Kachimov, Khanty activist, shaman, protector of holy lake Imlor, died after a long illness, having denied medical care. The land he was protecting sat on vast reserves of crude oil.

Please forgive the cringey ā€˜opening-box-of-my-new-book’ Tweet but I’m delighted and relieved that this thing is finally here. Thanks, jose gonzalez oregel for the lovely job you’ve done with it.

We used to roll our eyes or get indignant when police in notoriously repressive countries would pull such abysmal stunts, declaring random household objects and books you'd find in every library proof of terrorist conspiracies

Pausing from contemporary news to remember the Andijan massacre in #Uzbekistan - which took place 19 years ago today. Still no justice, btw. And if you're hearing abt this for the first time, have a look at Human Rights Watch's report "Bullets Were Falling Like Rain" - hrw.org/reports/2005/u…

Interesting thread: "Global Majority" has also emerged as a favourite concept for Russian government narratives in the last 2 years, eg: mid.ru/ru/foreign_pol…

Congrats to David Lewis on his excellent and timely new book, Occupation: Russian Rule In South-Eastern Ukraine. Published today in the US, and also out in the UK. Highly recommend. We don’t hear or read enough about this important aspect of Russia’s war.
