Kirjutasin ajakirjas Keel ja Kirjandus ühest omapärasest 1882. a tekstist, millele tuginevalt on Andres Didole omistatud Eesti Vabariigi idee esmaväljendaja au. Tõde, nagu ikka, on ilmselt natuke keerulisem: keeljakirjandus.ee/ee/archives/...

What an amazing coincidence that all of Trump’s toadies tweeted out praise that used the exact same language.

Kirjutasin Vikerkaares sellest, kust ja kuidas kavatsesid 1905. aasta revolutsionäärid relvi saada (kuigi eriti palju ei saanud) ja mida nad nendega tahtsid teha (kuigi enamjaolt jäi tegemata): www.vikerkaar.ee/archives/31356

For the Baltics, World War II didn't end until the restoration of independence in 1991. For Europe, the collapse of the USSR won't end until Russia is defeated in Ukraine. We are still living in the long 20th century. This will be a commonplace position for historians to have.

The incident involving undersea cables in the Baltic Sea is the latest in a series of suspected attacks on critical infrastructure. We commend the Finnish authorities for their swift action in boarding the suspected vessel. My joint statement → europa.eu/!k6cCfB (1/3)

"Three lessons for the EU emerge from Ukraine’s European choice: 1) to restore durable peace and security, the EU should integrate Ukr and contain russia; 2) Ukr is readier for EU accession than commonly thought; and 3) Ukr protects the rest of Europe from multifaceted ru aggression." rdcu.be/d3OXU

This is exactly what it's going to be like five minutes after Putin's fall. "A great tragedy, but time to move on, how about lifting the sanctions now that all this is behind us"

Corss border strikes do not have to be a strategic "game changer" to have an effect. They complicate 🇷🇺 air operations, and that's already a relief. How many 1000 lives could have been saved if this was decided earlier? At the end, a lot of small, but useful steps will decide the war.

This month in 1845, Taras Shevchenko was near death from fever when he wrote a poem that has come to be known as the "Testament". In translation its rhythm evokes the hymn "Amazing Grace": When I am dead, o dig a grave For me in my Ukraine Atop a mound of forebears brave, The steppe my last domain

A permanent member of the UN security council m*rdered 11 Ukrainian civilians in Zaporizhzhia, including a 5-year-old child. Do you know a 5-year-old? I bet you do. Imagine never being able to hold them in your arms. And Russia still sits at powerful tables and shakes hands with the elite.
