Our colleague, the Kremlin apologist Until Russia's full-scale invasion, Russian historian Alexei Miller was highly regarded in Western academia. Reflections on Russo-Centrism, colonialism and how Western scholars failed Ukraine.

@efdavies.bsky.social in @faznet.bsky.social harshly criticises the new imperial history, equating the entire field with Kremlin propaganda. She chose a convenient victim: Alexei Miller, an academic historian but with a controversial political reputation.

@efdavies.bsky.social against the new imperial history. @abimperio.bsky.social against politisation of the field.

An excerpt from the book "The Name of Discord" has been published online. You can read about how the mosaic of civil wars ultimately coalesced into one continuous #RussianCivilWar. I co-wrote this section of the book with Dmitry Ivanov.

I was today years old when I learned that in German there’s an expression "08/15" (null-acht-fünfzehn) meaning "ordinary, mediocre, nothing special"

And it comes from the name of a standard German #WWI machine gun. Alright, makes sense

Спасибо!

Two-year research project at @uniofnottingham.bsky.social

Soon. New book

The book "The Name of Discord: The Political Use of the Term "Civil War" (1917-1918)" will soon be published by the Novoe Literturnoe Obozrenie.

I was one of the editors of the collective monograph and wrote several chapters for it.

New details about the monarchist extremists who tried to assassinate Russian liberal leader Pavel Milyukov and killed politician Vladimir Nabokov while he defended him.

Hogging the blanckets of #RussianRevolution

Milyukov pulls toward “strengthening power” with whip and bayonet, Kerensky toward “strengthening freedom and revolution” outside, Lenin toward “deepening the revolution” everywhere. And the sweet German just offers his hand and heart.

2 years of deciphering monstrous handwriting, 4 years of waiting and finally published!

My edition of Maksimilian Filonenko’s 1918 diary: politics, daily life, and a touch of love from a adventurer in the chaos of the Civil War.

Dear Imperial War Musesum,
Where did you find this conspiracy?

This is not serious for such a great museum.
