Turkish democracy won

Aliona Lyasheva, Viktoriia Muliavka Evening, 15th of July Shit hit the fan around 9 pm while we were sitting in one of the bars in Istiklal. With our Turkish friend, Vedat, we were discussing our Erasmus experiences or some other meaningless things. Difficult to remember now. We had an amazing view on the main Istanbul street […]

Europe’s Lethal Fortress

Make no mistake — it’s European governments who are to blame for the deadly migrant crisis. Мy social media feeds are filled with dead children. Small bodies, washing up on the shores of a Mediterranean beach. Why are they washing up on the shores? European governments want us to blame traffickers. The advantage of blaming […]

In fact, both characterisations are wrong. What we have have seen is a mass rebellion, overwhelmingly supported in western and central Ukraine […]

Ukrainian protesters must make a decisive break with the far right

Volodymyr Ishchenko A number of well-known scholars on Ukrainian nationalism expressed their concern about, as they claimed, misrepresentation of Ukrainian protests by the international media unjustifiably over-emphasizing significance and centrality of the far right participation in a broad and diverse Euromaidan movement for the sake of empty sensationalism.

Хочу еще раз напомнить, что «Идеи…» не имеют никакого отношения к манифесту. Все, что в них высказано, сродни скорее зализыванию раны. Выплеску эмоций. Попытке осознать травму, которую ежедневно наносит мне Капитал. Сведению личных счетов и(ли) выяснению отношений, заведомо ложных и заведомо обреченных. А еще — это отсекание своих учителей. Освобождение от них. Благодарное прощание. Своего […]

IT’S…

Який студент не був вражений методом контент-аналізу, почувши про нього на загальнообов’язковому курсі «Соціологія-1»! Все так просто, а вот же, можна підрахувати слова в німецьких газетах і розкрити воєнні плани Третього рейху. Ну і всі, звичайно, хотіли коли-небудь самі таке зробити. З тих пір деякі з нас таки дійсно умудрились застосувати цю техніку, зокрема навіть […]
