This rather unScholz-like speech was given last night in Brandenburg. The video omits perhaps the spiciest line: "Dear screamers, Putin is the warmonger you'd be shouting at here if you had any sense in your brains".

"That guy, you see that guy?" "No." "There's a guy who's running in front of the tank. He's standing right in front of it." ... CNN raw video, Chang'an Avenue, June 5 1989. #六四34 #Tiananmen #天安門事件

Interviewer: “Is it a myth that the West deceived you with regard to the NATO eastward expansion?” Gorbachev: “Yes, that’s actually a myth.”

Here is the link to Evan Gershkovich's excellent article "Russia's economy is starting to come undone". Presumably this insightful article is the reason why he was arrested. The current Russian authorities are so predictable, just like the USSR. wsj.com/articles/russi…

For years, Evan did everything he could to tell the story of modern Russia. It is now our turn to keep the light shining on him theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

In Deutschland werden an diesem Samstag Menschen auf die Straße gehen, um Verhandlungen mit Russland zu fordern. Vor einiger Zeit habe ich die ukrainische Friedensnobelpreisträgerin Oleksandra Matwijtschuk gefragt, was sie von solchen Forderungen hält. Das ist ihre Antwort:

Yes....press freedom is a wonderful thing. It's good that Mr. Liu has much access on the scene in Ohio. Meanwhile, foreign journalists in Mainland China that have attempted to cover the peaceful "white paper" protests are harassed or get dragged off and detained by the PSB.

After nearly three years being told that trying to coexist with COVID-19 would be catastrophic, many people in China think there's a big risk in opening up, despite the growing lockdown frustrations. reut.rs/3EWvgcH

This was such a brilliant video I subtitled it so more people can watch it. Beijing students' response last night to accusations that there are 'foreign forces' at play in this weekend's protests 'The foreign forces you are talking about – are they Marx and Engels?'

A thread here for those who don't understand why the China protests over the weekend protests are so shockingly rare. Surveillance. In. China. Is. Extreme. Think you could evade Chinese police? Let's walk through it:

"There's tons of people protesting, they'll never catch me," nope - Chinese police stations use huge networks of facial recognition cameras that can retroactively trace people for days or even months.

This is amazing. Due to the backlash from Chinese fans seeing unmasked crowds in Qatar, Chinese TV is now replacing live crowds shots during games and instead cutting to close-ups of players and coaches.

‘Acceptance’ is usually more a matter of fatigue than anything else. (DFW in Infinite Jest) I think everyone currently living in #China can relate to this sentence.
