Late last night we learned that Dmitry Sekushin, one of the most important people of the Shies protest, suddenly died in France and the age of 52. He also helped me immensely with my research, and he was very generous with his time. After the full-scale invasion he left Russia, as he hated the war.

In May, a RAD issue on Environmental protests was published, featuring my contribution. In it, I explore how the Shies' legacies enabled activists to continue protesting during the wartime (on a different scale, of course) css.ethz.ch/content/dam/...

Excellent roundtable discussions organised by the Aleksanteri Institute. Ukrainian experts and researchers who have been closely studying Ukraine and the war against it gathered today to discuss what the three years of the full-scale invasion have meant for civil society and international security.
