A fascinating study by Toghrul Abbasov challenging a widely held view of Azerbaijani nationalism as simply reacting to Armenian nationalism in the 1980s, and showing how Azerbaijani nation-building combined with new forms of mass popular culture in the post-Stalin era.

In this piece, Ian Klinke and I argue that worries about 🇩🇪 reset with 🇷🇺 are off the mark. The real problem with German geopolitical thinking is "zombie Atlanticism" & fixation on a version of US that no longer exists. @warontherocks.bsky.social @prcp.cuni.cz @ims.fsv.cuni.cz #ostpolitik
Why Are People Talking About a German Reset with Russia?
The summer of 2026 has raised questions once again among politicians, diplomats, and academics about whether Germany might be about to dither on Russia.

So, let me get this straight, the US illegally attacks a country, kidnaps its president, threatens its government with massive military force, gets them to hand over to US control a huge portion of their national assets, hails the billions it has already brought in and promises billions more...
It amazes me that we banned or socially marginalised Russian academia for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but at the same time we have ECPR adversing a tenure-track position in Israel in the aftermath of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians... You really have no shame.
One thing to remember about Cofnas is that he’s against other people’s academic freedom. That’s why I’m not signing the letter defending him on those grounds.
