Next week, on May 4th, the paperback of BETWEEN TWO FIRES will be published (with a new cover!), a book the NYT called "deep and revealing" and The Economist said is "wonderfully insightful." Hope to get a chance to talk more about it and all things Russia penguinrandomhouse.com/books/555637/b…

The Populist is out, the result of my 14-year investigation of Pavel Durov's strategy & mind, and the epic of Telegram. The book is based on talks with D and his rivals. Clashes with Putin, US, France; tech bros and manosphere ties; sperm race; and more 👉 bit.ly/4oFN0Og

A new semester means fresh slate of events @Bard_Berlin. First up on Sep 27: a discussion of the politics of memory (or absence and denial of historical memory) in Germany and Russia, and what that means for politics and society today. Berliners, join us! berlin.bard.edu/events/politic…

In a sadly not unimaginable but deeply regrettable turn of events, the Union Club in Frankfurt *cancelled* my talk with @NathanThrall next Tuesday. The good news: we’ll be hosted by the wonderful team at Medico International instead. Join us! berlin.bard.edu/events/life-de…

“He needs a certification…Proof he can hold up and say, yet again, ‘The country is behind me.’” My @NewYorker essay on Putin’s reelection this weekend and how two years of war has (and has not) recast Russian politics, society, economy. newyorker.com/news/the-weeke…

Дорогі друзі, хто в Берліні, або Мюнхені - буду наступного тижня в цих двох прекрасних містах, які дуже люблю - приходьте, поговоримо, посумуємо). Обіцяю бути дуже відвертою

For those of you following the war over the last two years, and Ukraine long before that, you know what a gifted, special, and informed voice Nastya is. A rare chance to see her in Berlin on November 28. (And Munich on November 29!)

@k_sonin @shustry Anyway, say you don’t like the article and question how it was reported (all legit points) and apologise to Simon for the baseless ad hominem and let’s move on.

@k_sonin @shustry Seriously, that’s your “evidence” for calling someone a Russian asset? Nearly whole of Russian elite was convinced in winter 2021/22 Putin was trying to bluff/blackmail West. You’re playing a “кому выгодно” Soviet-style game to twist reporting that into some kind of conspiracy.

War, especially a prolonged one with relentless suffering, makes everyone lose their heads. But this is silly and worthy of an apology. @shustry is a professional, judicious, courageous reporter who has been reporting on Ukraine for a decade-plus. twitter.com/k_sonin/status…
Konstantin Sonin@k_sonin

I am fine with dramatization of political life and appreciate narratives that I don't necessarily share, yet it seems that @TIME did let a Russian asset (even if an unwitting one) to profile the Ukrainian president.
