This episode of @euraknot is excellent. @bryan_gigantino is his usual self: thorough, informed, looking at Georgia's current predicament with critical distance and a fair mind, but also surprising conclusions. If you have 1 hour to understand Georgia, this will do the trick.

Listened to @euraknot's episode with @BenjaminNathans about his book on Soviet dissidents. Since I'm looking into how/why Western money and power captured civil societies in Eurasia and the Global South, I'll have to move it to the top of my reading list. patreon.com/posts/world-of…

I personally know both of these brilliant people. Even if one is a Knick fan.
