Tillbaka från konferens i London, bestyckad med ny fin mugg fylld med svenskt kaffe från Lindvalls, och manusutkastet framför mig. #författarliv #iccees2025
I posted briefly about this earlier this week, but the 'Unissued Diplomas' exhibition at #ICCEES2025 made such a big impression on me I wanted to write something longer.

Thanks @uclssees.bsky.social @ioe.bsky.social & @basees.bsky.social for organising #iccees2025. I contributed by presenting on “Russia's revisionist foreign policy and the false diaspora discourse in Germany” and chairing a panel on “Peace, Democracy and International Relations After the Cold War”.

#ICCEES2025 day 5: This final day was packed, with Azerbaijan’s new Left, emigré Euromaidan participants, possible future(s) for Crimea & Ukraine's minorities in wartimes among our topics.
We are grateful for all the conversations had & glad to have contributed as a partner organisation this year!

Great finale of a super interesting 5-day conference with a wonderful talk by Sergey Radchenko. Lot of inspirational ideas gathered. Holidays already over, next week I will be restarting my hard PhD work.
Thank you for @aelmgren.bsky.social for taking pics during my presentation. It felt great to share my research. I got great questions, and we had some further follow-up chat after the panel. Thank you for the organisers for their great work, it was a really inspiring event. 👏 #iccees2025
This week at the #ICCEES2025, I spoke about a stork as a messenger of spring and wonder, an ancestor who always finds its way home, and a body that bleeds and dies in the war. Grateful to other panelists, everyone who listened, and to all the friends I made in London!
Big times in London at the #ICCEES! Great panels & talks, wonderful material at the British Library & new cooperations ahead: During the next months, I’ll be a Visiting Fellow at the LSE & continue working with the amazing @dinalog.bsky.social on the Wilsonian Moment in Eastern Europe 💪
Marie-Josée Lavallée explains how the split in the left over how to fight the Austrofascists helped the latter consolidate their hold on power in interwar Austria

Back from #ICCEES2025 in London where we had a great conference: stimulating panels and debates, meeting with old and new colleagues and friends… Lots of projects in the pipeline! I even managed not to buy too many books. 📚
The people in the photo enjoy spending time reading through kilometres of documents produced by the secret services, trying to extract any trace of meaning from them. It was a great joy to co-organise a panel on preventative policing and repression in the USSR and Czechoslovakia at #ICCEES2025
Truly energised by the #iccees2025 roundtable devoted to my new book, "Unfinished Empire".
Huge thanks to Yuliya Yurchenko, Ostap Kushnir, @laurencebroers.bsky.social) & Sofya du Boulay for their incisive and generous comments - and to the engaged audience who joined the discussion.
Just presented my research at #iccees2025
Long story short: Abortion access is getting worse in Russia, in part because Russia imported a lot of ideas and practices from the USA
All set for tomorrow. I'm really excited about sharing my research. #iccees2025
New badge! From #ICCEES2025
#ICCEES day 4: Today, the 3rd party-funded projects at ZOiS came through – @sophiawinkler.bsky.social presented her PhD research on Russian migrants navigating transnational belonging for #MoveMeRu & Sabine von Löwis discussed maps & map making as critical resources as part of the #KonKoop network.
We were glad to be able to reflect on issues of agency and how to conduct research on this topic and see familiar faces at this Roundtable with @basees.bsky.social.
Thank you for the discussion! #ICCEES2025
I picked up some luvly stuff (!) Also, the publishers' exhibitions are constant temptation for a book dragon like me...🐉#iccees2025
