Well, everyone has the right to cling to wishful thinking despite repeatedly failing the reality test in each and every deficient revolution of recent decades. Just don't say that those who disagree are detached from reality while you're not :).

Very critical, but not dismissive, review of my book. The author argues that if Russia had not intervened in 2014, Euromaidan would have started a "left turn" toward a working-class revolution :).

Glavkom, one of the most popular Ukrainian online media outlets, published a similarly slanderous article that relied solely on Facebook comments. /9.

Espresso TV is owned by Mykhailo Kniazhytskyi, an infamous Ukrainian journalist, media manager, and current MP in the Poroshenko Party. He is the author of the ethnonationalist laws regarding language and religion policies and was once nominated as an "Enemy of the Press." /8.

The article presents the letter as an initiative of "left intellectuals", "pro-Russian" and "odious" scholars and calls it "a classic example of a lobbying campaign designed to legitimize a toxic figure with the help of external, particularly Western, academic authority." /7.

The article also targets me, quoting without marks or fact-checking, a FB comment by someone Olia Tkachenko that I am "spreading Moscow narratives under the guise of defending human rights." She refers to my award-winning essay, "Ukrainian Voices?" /6.

Rather than supporting a younger female colleague who has been receiving regular death and rape threats from armed individuals, or at least remaining silent, they chose to spread more outright lies about @HavryshkoMarta and the signatories. /5.

The Espreso article did not ask for any comment from @HavryshkoMarta or from any of the signatories. Basically, it builds on the despicable discussion that some Ukrainian intellectuals started on Facebook after the publication of our letter. /4.

Also targeted Holocaust researchers Omer Bartov, Doris Bergen, Amos Goldberg. Besides, Ukrainian-Canadian political scientist @I_Katchanovski, French economist Jacques Sapire @russeurope, historian @TarikCyrilAmar, "far-left" journalist @aaronmate and others. /3.

This article labels @HimkaJohn one of the most prominent Ukrainian-Canadian historians, a "Ukrainophobe" and slanders Grzegorz Rossolinski-Liebe, the author of the best and only biography of Stepan Bandera, as a "supporter of radical right-wing views." /2.

Ukrainian media started smearing the signatories of our letter in defense of @HavryshkoMarta, including some of the world-known scholars of Ukrainian history, nationalism, and Holocaust. /1

RT @HavryshkoMarta: ⚠️Espresso. Zakhid, I will be suing you for the libelous and defamatory material about me! . And I hope the professors….

In parallel, some of her "colleagues" pretend that the only reason she suffers harassment, censorship, regular death and rape threats for over a year is her posts on social media. They never reflect how many of them turned their own social media into propaganda feeds since 2022.

The most infamous database of Ukrainian public enemies, which is linked to security services, lists Marta's academic article on sexual violence in the Ukrainian nationalist movement in the 1940s-50s as evidence of her "treason".

RT @amendlocke: Interesting thread.
