White Guard
Mikhail Bulgakov
My piece on Mikhail #Bulgakov cultural legacy. Should his museum in Kyiv be closed on the grounds he wrote propaganda literature, including The White Guard? Or is he an enduring part of Ukrainian cultural space? https://t.co/0Fr1w0tjhF

As Zelenskiy goes to Washington at a pivotal moment in the war with #Russia, here's @WSJ review of #Invasion: "Gripping and often moving, the book is primarily journalistic but goes beyond mere reportage as Mr. Harding draws on his knowledge of the region" https://t.co/lQ71BbA4UN

Russia: A Historical Introduction from Kievan Rus' to the Present
John Thompson
Remember the #Russia report? Sixteen months on Boris Johnson's #Conservative government has done nothing to carry out its recommendations. It now turns out Kemi Badenoch - minister for 'levelling up' - hasn't read it, by her own admission https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2021-10-26/debates/9655c0be-2a92-42cd-86b3-9da0d4af504b/ElectionsBill(TwelfthSitting)#contribution-F9A3C52D-B8A5-4138-8B92-BEF70CD4ABA9
