A glimpse in political activism, as manifested in NW Washington, DC visuals. A handful of themes. See for yourself.

And a photo from DC (14th & P St probably) from nine years ago.

RUR 500 banknote and US mint coin with an image of the sitting president. In Russia everyone puts out their grievances making their own design, meme. And in the US it all revolves around one, OK, a few people. Here’s an example from the US bubble:

A debate around the new controversial Caucasus-themed RUR 500 design - online contest scrapped. Tells a lot about the mechanics of Russian (con)federalism, galvanisation, and of letting out steam. The SVO (war) is a serious factor; whereas in the US related debates underscore extreme polarisation.

Кто будет с этим бороться и зачем? Наверное, ряд стран… многовекторной политикой. Отчасти демократическим устройством, его сохранением и охранением.
Неоимпериализм импонирует многим. Не только некоторым бывшим империям, но и некоторым не успевшим к эпохе развитого колониализма, и некоторые бывшие колонии.
Многополярный мир предполагает сферы влияния, а, значит, элементы империализма, пускай
True. Perhaps big business is inherently optimistic; and some thrive in chaos. I am equally concerned about many poor Trump voters: how do they feel when they see the President saying who made how many billions overnight.

Either way, keep the date, and hope to see you there!
hey, many overdid it at the expense of independent academia; which is only becoming more dependent as a result. It was never easy. Tougher now.
On a personal note, and I’ve said it before, I am eager to teach, share my diverse experience, research.
In recent years the convention was quite soured by the backdrop of the war and disproportionately skewed in decolonisation and DEI fervour. This year there’ll be more self-censorship and perhaps some gloom. But,

This year’s AAASS, I mean, ASEEES convention is finally returning to Washington, DC.
I’ve attended some brilliant panels and met former colleagues and friends there over the years.

Народ дивится: удалили 1 сливной бачок в Телеграме. Да, если бы это было проблемой цифровой свободы… В Телеге цензуры меньше, но самоцензура растёт, как во всех соцсетях. И модераторы, да, тоже лютуют.
Тем не менее, я варюсь в Телеге уже лет шесть. Там мне интереснее, чем в других соцсетях.
And me on Telegram (this is our cat Yashka, here still catching chipmunks at 17; he left us last year - probably walked away to die).

I occasionally write on LinkedIn, daily on Telegram. People suggest: Igor, you should be on Substack or smth. True, I am eager to engage, but where do I begin? Anyway:

US arms shipments to Ukraine are disproportionately large; and this doesn’t even account for many things that are hard to quantify or are unquantifiable altogether.

Doing so, they are reinforcing his argument re: the US’ independence as a global actor and its lasting indispensable role.

Д. Трампа постепенно, отчасти, с перепугу, переписывают из подрывников статуса кво, сложившегося за последние десятилетия, особенно в последние годы, в прагматики. Что усиливает его аргументацию о независимости и незаменимости США.
