I arrived to #WHA conf in #Incheon. Feeling empowered my paper is ready as I began this new story in Oct. How the USSR didn't join #FAO in the 1960s. I make a stretch to Comintern years and Moscow Agrarian Institute of the1930s - competitor of the predicessor of FAO in Rome, and anti-imp struggle.

Article on land rights in Palestine, 1927. Komintern has a journal on economy in rural areas with much focus on colonized countries.

Looking at what was the Communist world attitude to the Indian partition.

Ten years I has passed and I finally paid off my student loan for my MA program in Canada. Back then, I know it I looked odd, an immigrant doing a Master's in History. I had a yearly income debt after and no definite promise it would workout. Merci au programme #pretsetbourses Québec!

Last week I made an academic visit to Middle East Technical University in North Cyprus. Thanks to an invitation from professor Defne Gonenc. I gave an intro lecture to BA students on Russian history. The campus is in a rural area on a hill with views to mountains and the sea. Just a gorgeous place!

What if in the universe of Indian scholars there is an archive of Indo-Soviet Cultural Society news bulletin. I've seen only little pieces of it... BUT good ones!

My review of a book by Liliane Stadler. The book is especially relevant today, as Switzerland maybe losing its neutrality (?), or can no longer afford it, while surrounded by a unified EU. www.connections.clio-online.net/publicationr...

From the conference on social history students organizations.

Auditing a conference on student organizations "Tackling Cold War Student Organizations though Social History," UniFr Nov 21. Constantin Katsakioris has presented on nationalist and ethnic tensions among students from Africa and the Middle East during studies at Soviet universities.

A little report on my first digitization project. So I completed making pictures of each page of the archive for Ukrainian Red Cross Abroad, 1939-45. You see it all in the box. It took me six working days. Now the new step - text recognition and playing with AI tools for research output.

#ECAS2025, where @alilacandonga.bsky.social and I had wonderful two panels on medical socialist entanglements between Eastern Europe and Africa, including, among others, @severyandyakonov.bsky.social. Also heard some excellent talks on veterans, memory of anti-colonial wars and public health!

Thank you Prague and #ECAS2025 for the chance to share my work! It was especially entertaining to be hosted in the building where my research events happened in 1961. Look up for texts on Socialist Medical Entanglements in the decolonizing world in this OA special issue brill.com/view/journal...
