Talked to @CP24 about the survey reporting a large number of Canadian young people saying "Holocaust is exaggerated"... Takeaway: we need more education in History.

@eddyportnoy on campus, such flyers are everywhere. I learned to see them as peaceful protest not directed specifically at me and my children. Things we tell ourselves to keep going...

@Jacob_Labendz Of course, Carlson is the perfect demographic to feel safe on Moscow subway: a white middle age man. Try, on the other hand, being a Tajik man or a Moldovan woman. Not so safe, not so friendly anymore...

@betelcentre is supporting the most vulnerable Jewish community members - Russian-speaking elderly with the meals on wheels program. Most recipients are immigrants to Canada. It was an honour to be recognized at this event for my work on Russian Jewish history and culture...

It was great to be at @betelcentre last night where I attended a special tribute event in honour of @shternsh and in support of the Bernard Betel Centre Meals on Wheels program.

Help a book review editor out! Who are some modern (as in alive and working) historians of the Soviet/Russian military? My list right now is pretty short! Thanks!
