▶️ 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.

❄️ December is here, so it's a good time to plan methods training for 2026! I’ve been asked about methods schools recently, so here’s a non-authoritative list. I did my PhD in Europe, and focus on quantitative political science, so this is inevitably biased and may be outdated. Additions welcome! 🧵👇

Some good news - Latvia REMAINS a party to the Istanbul Convention. For now. Facing unprecedented civil society mobilisation, and after the president refused to sign the withdrawal law, the parliament voted to postpone the decision on the Istanbul Convention until after the October 2026 elections.

Very interesting observations. Coming from a country where for some people regular survey participation is an important additional income, I wondered (and actually some of them too) about the data quality. Curious about the results outside of the US too.
How common are “survey professionals” - people who take dozens of online surveys for pay - across online panels, and do they harm data quality?
Our paper, FirstView at @politicalanalysis.bsky.social, tackles this question using browsing data from three U.S. samples (Facebook, YouGov, and Lucid):
