🎉New publication ▶️ Russian speakers are less willing to fight for Latvia than ethnic Latvians. ▶️This is driven by greater Soviet nostalgia. Russian speakers in Latvia are less likely to see Russia as responsible for the war against Ukraine, which reduces their willingness to fight.

Why do some autonomy disputes suddenly turn into secessionist explosions?💥 @felixschulte.bsky.social, @mscanti.bsky.social & Maria Ackrén show that it is not just institutions or long-term grievances, but also triggering events that signal a loss of autonomy and change everything. buff.ly/FUSwtCq

📖 Paper out @epsrjournal.bsky.social (w/ @mscanti.bsky.social/ Maria Ackrén) ➡️ Why do secessionist waves erupt at a specific point in time? We argue that timing often hinges on highly symbolic events signalling a loss of autonomy.
Russian repression against Crimean #Tatars in occupied Ukraine follows a pattern. Using a new geo-coded event dataset, researchers Elmira Muratova & @felixschulte.bsky.social map human rights violations & explain why repression is often carried out on Thursdays. More on the #KonKoop DataLab blog ⤵️
Thursdays are for Searches: The Russian Repression Calendar in Occupied Crimea - KonKoop

Ein Tweet des CDU-Politikers Timur Husein war offenbar so volksverhetzend, dass er auf X (ehemals Twitter) in der gesamten Europäischen Union, dem Vereinigten Königreich und Indien nicht mehr angezeigt wird. Grund: Der Post verstößt gegen die Gesetze all dieser Länder.

Die Umfrage hierzu entstand am Donnerstag, nachdem Merz seine Aussagen am Mittwoch präzisiert hatte. Die genaue Frage lautete so:
