As a follow-up, this episode of Diabolical Lies is one of the only places I have EVER heard someone say, plainly, that the past 40-50 years have been the only ones in human history where women are able to reliably control their own fertility... www.diabolicalliespod.com/p/the-real-r...?

Have any historians of Eastern Europe written about the challenge of travelling to and accessing archives in various countries there in recent years (say since 2020)? Especially Russia and Ukraine since 2022, of course, but perspectives on any country likely to be welcome!

At the start of summer I revised a reading list. It was something I wanted to do as three years of teaching has meant my approach has vastly improved...but this was a LOT of work which I was under no real obligation to do (the previous list was 'fine') for one more contracted year of teaching.

Off to London to start the teaching term, for what may well be my last time, in classics or at all. Feels also somewhat ironic given my apparent redundancy that actually this is the start of quite a busy term with a lot of London time, given my teaching load is actually quite high.

The story about academia was always that you were a bright young person who would make more money elsewhere - you were in it for the vocation, the good quality of life, the stability and benefits of employment, the pension, and the prestige of being in a respected profession

Musing on this more and it does seem odd I can't think of (m)any, especially historical works - only 20-odd years separated the occupations of the world wars and many must have lived through both. (My great-grandmother, b.1907, spent the FWW as a refugee so didn't experience both occupations per se)

Chloë J. A. Pieters@cjapieters.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Does anyone know of any memoirs, autobiographies and histories that focus on the experiences of people who lived through both First and Second World War occupations in Europe?

Every time a political columnist recommends a contribution payment-based healthcare model I think of my dad, who spent the last months of his life very ill, with sustained internal bleeding that would eventually kill him, chasing up hospitals who had billed him incorrectly following a major collapse

The shape of British fascism in the wake of war was articulated by Clemence Dane, in The Arrogant History of White Ben - a book hard to recommend given it is a) long, b) with quite dense and not consistently compelling prose and c) out of print and yet I do keep recommending it
