Sissinghurst Castle. One time home of Virginia Woolf’s lover Vita Sackville-West and diplomat husband Harold Nicolson. Lovely gardens. Good collection of books on Eastern Europe in the library including work of Beneš. Nicolson’s I would guess. #sissinghurstcastlegarden #sissinghurst #VirginaWoolf #EasternEurope #books

Did political science get central and eastern Europe wrong?
TLDR: It did, leaning too heavily towards the power of formal institutions and the incentives of rational actors, generating an optimism bias.
Much to ponder on here

‘For a just peace in #Ukraine, not a #Trump-#Putin deal to appease the aggressor’
An interview with Ukrainian socialist #DenysPilash
from #WorldOutlook
March 31, 2025
[an excellent, thought-provoking interview, along with a statement by a #Ukrainian #socialist group]
I find it utterly insane that the same United States that wants to punish the world for its abuse and parasitic behaviour is the same United States that wants to build the largest military city on the planet right here in Romania, an underdeveloped country from Eastern Europe that can't exist without being a parasite.
A question to the slavic studies community or s.o. in the know: Are there any authors besides Gogol who wrote ukranian horror or uncanny literature in the 19th century?
Bonus: Tips about other slavic countries (besides russia) are welcome aswell.
@Free_Press Russian captivity..
I heard a lot about that during my formative years as a child from my grandparents.
Toned down, of course, but stories about the kind of abuse Russians inflict on their prisoners of war have been part of my upbringing.
…
I believe this is why Eastern Europe can see what Russia is doing very clearly, while the West does not.
We share a common multi-generational trauma that makes us resistant to their lies.

Last year, we took a week to drive slowly from Berlin along the "Balkan route" via the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia and North Macedonia to my husband's Greek family's house on the Ionian Sea. This picture is from #NoviSad in #Serbia, where, like everywhere else, we met the nicest people and spent a lovely evening. I always think about it now when I hear news about today's remarkable protests there.
The fall of the #Berlin Wall, and not the human chain across the #Baltics, is emblematic of 1989. But what if this show of unity had become iconic of #communism’s disintegration? Could acknowledging #EasternEurope’s liberation positively reframe what #Russia otherwise perceives as loss since the #SovietUnion’s demise?
