@ukr_arthistory I saw the exhibit at the Ukrainian Museum in NYC this past weekend. Really fascinating!

This is a new Tatlin: Kyiv exhibition catalogue with my research text about Volodymyr Tatlin and his Ukrainian years. He grew up in Kharkiv, was a sailor in Odesa and was a professor at Kyiv Art Institute. Preorder now with a discount

Really please that this volume is out! See my chapter to learn how Soviet malariologists contested and coopted international health projects, in the process helping to build a sphere of public health despite, and because of, Cold War divisions.

Хотели как лучше, а получилось как всегда

@BeilinsonOrel Maybe the separate Academy of Medical Sciences in Moscow? I think the records are in GARF

I was struck by the *absence* of the USSR as an explicit model for the NHS. Seaton's discussion of interwar health politics made me realize this was probably intentional. There's a fascinating sort of inspiration/disavowal at play on the medical left. I want to learn more!

But beyond the choice of orange, the first chapter of the book touches on a topic of real interest to me: the interwar networks of left and socialist health reform - and (for me) the role of the USSR therein.

Reading @AndrewSeaton's new book, "Our NHS," which hardly needs my introduction. I want to note the orange colour scheme of the dust jacket. From a Canadian perspective, a very appropriate choice for a book on the social-democratic politics of healthcare!

Been waiting years for this one, and it’s more beautiful than I could ever have imagined!

Funding to study Ukrainian. I’ve utilized this in the past. It’s a great opportunity. Please share.

One thing the "For you" tab is really good at is showing how many people on here are just reposting other people's viral takes as their own

Do any of my Twitter friends have experience conducting public opinion surveys in Kazakhstan? 🇰🇿

@DylanoA4 "We thought that freedom was a very simple thing. A little time went by, and soon, we too bowed under its yoke. No one had taught us how to be free. We had only ever been taught how to die for freedom." (Svetlana Alexievich)

Fukuyama was right

@DexterFergie I briefly looked if Ho Chi Minh wrote anything like this, which could be an even more interesting perspective, but I nothing obvious jumped out

@DexterFergie I'm not sure if this will be quite what you're looking for, but what about writing from someone like Mao? Check out some of the 1941-42 stuff here: marxists.org/reference/arch…

🤔

@DexterFergie I'm definitely interested!

Let’s go Tashkent city! #TDFF2024

How dare you! As Hegel wrote somewhere, "Kaffee und Brot, bitte. Meine Schwester heißt Marie"!

#Twitterstorians: Have any of you done a material culture history assignment with students? I'm planning to have students in my Holocaust History course do one since we have an on-campus Holocaust museum with many material artifacts. If you can, please share what you've done! TY!
