Write and research on Russia. Work at Aarhus University, but opinions my own, not those of employer.
"If Europe continues down this path, a settlement will eventually be imposed that reflects the interests of Putin and whichever Americans happen to be influential at that moment. Europe will then complain loudly and indignantly, as if it played no part in the outcome."

Now I think of it, the most shocking thing I ever experienced in this line was the editor of a very glossy western magazine in Moscow admitting she'd paid $0000s to a 'witch' to get her husband's lover to die of cancer (and she did!). Who researches this shit?

More recent interactions with a qualified medical professional in Ru: 'you don't have your Tarot done at least once a year?' How do you know when to travel safely?

And because I'm nothing if not into procrastination, I went for a deep dive comparing the wikis of said therapy. The English entry has 'criticisms' (of pseudoscience) for 2/3 of article. The Russian has virtually no mention. So symptomatic on how to cash in other's suffering.

not a lot that is different from other youth. That's the point. And not at all addressed by this kind of article.

Hi Sven, I think part of the problem is the ever narrowing sense of specialization among experts and researchers.
