For @NYTmag, I wrote about Germany's halting efforts to build up its armed forces in the face of ingrained societal skepticism of the merits of military power. Germany’s reluctance has a lot to do with the Nazi past. But there's also a lot more to it. nytimes.com/2023/01/24/mag…

News that my friend, colleague, and thoroughly professional reporter @evangershkovich has been detained while doing his job in Russia. Hope and trust he’ll be released imminently. Goes w/out saying, journalism is not a crime. mobile.twitter.com/Sota_Vision/st…

В Екатеринбурге, вероятно, задержали репортера Wall Street Journal Эвана Гершковича. Он приехал в город писать о ЧВК «Вагнер» и об «СВО» 29 марта Гершкович приехал в Екатеринбург и уже сутки не выходит на связь с редакцией. «Он приехал в большую такую экспедицию. Самое главное, что его интересовало, это отношение к ЧВК «Вагнер» и спецоперации вообще. Почему Екатеринбург? Пригожин несколько раз прыгал на Екатеринбург и его тут отшивали. Эван нигде публично не писал [о поездке], и я его кулуарно водил по разным спикерам, удалось избежать провокации. Поездкой он вообще остался доволен», — рассказал 66. ru екатеринбургский пиарщик Ярослав Ширшиков. Источник журналиста Дмитрия Колезева подтвердил, что Гершкович задержан. Екатеринбургское издание It's My City обратилось с запросом в местное управление ФСБ, но ответа пока не получило.

For @nybooks I wrote about the new Historikerstreit -- and how a growing awareness of Germany's colonial crimes has spurred a heated debate about their place in Germany's culture of remembrance and whether there are historical connections to the Holocaust nybooks.com/articles/2023/…

Fight breaks out in the city of Omsk among men who’ve been drafted and local police forcing them onto buses. Draftees called on the police to come die with them in the trenches. 📹 Omsk Civil Association

“We need to know how to infect them with our ideology,” a senior Kremlin official recently told teachers. “Our ideological work is aimed at changing consciousness.” On the Kremlin’s plan to reprogram society through Russia’s 40,000 schools: nytimes.com/2022/07/16/wor…

So many stories like this: woman writes me to say her brother was detained by Russian soldiers at home in village outside Kyiv. Others saw him, hands tied, led at gun point to building Russians used as base. Four days later his body was found by side of the road, shot in back.

Through the horror I can’t stop thinking about the sheer idiocy. Putin is creating & reinforcing all the things he is most scared of that were once phantom. A Ukraine that’s alien to Russia and despises it, and a massive reinvigoration of NATO and huge anti-Russian resolve.

This is the constituency map Germans are waking up to. SPD dominance in the north, conservatives in the industrial south, dots of Green in some cities, and a very AfD-blue Saxony after the CDU slumped there. zeit.de/politik/deutsc…

My piece for Politico on Germany’s hugely-popular Wahl-O-Mat, a “voting advice application” that puts concrete policies and issues above intangible factors like candidate “likability.” Question is whether it works. politico.eu/article/german…

My essay for @nytopinion about why Victory in Europe Day —the May 8 anniversary of Nazi Germany’s capitulation —is increasingly commemorated as a “Day of Liberation” in Germany, and how, despite good intentions, this could contribute to historical amnesia. nytimes.com/2021/05/08/opi…

For a long time, the question was: How could the vanquished Germans celebrate their World War II surrender? Now, writes @jamesangelos, Germans are increasingly grappling with a thornier question: How could they not? . nyti.ms/3haHrIE

For anyone interested in reading some background on the recent violence in Belfast, I’m re-upping this piece I wrote at the end of 2019 about how Brexit is aggravating sectarian tensions in Northern Ireland: nytimes.com/2019/12/30/mag…

Germany under Merkel has often been held up as a defender of liberal democratic values around the world. The reality, however, is more complicated. I had some thoughts on this in an essay I wrote for Persuasion: persuasion.community/p/no-change-pl…

For @nybooks I wrote about Germany's efforts to integrate the 1.2 million migrants who arrived in 2015/2016. Despite the rise of the far right, the influx has cemented the country's transformation into a more pluralistic, cosmopolitan and humane society. nybooks.com/articles/2021/…
