Resources

  • De Russische oorlog in Oekraïne speelt zich af op straat, in media, online, en hij wordt verbeeld in taal en literatuur. Woorden brengen troost en verbinding, maar ze kunnen ook verdelen en schaden. Welke rol spelen journalistieke teksten in deze en andere oorlogen? Waarom kunnen we niet zonder proza en poëzie in tijden van strijd? En hoe verandert een oorlog de manier waarop we praten en schrijven? We bestuderen deze vragen met literair vertalers en journalisten die Rusland, Oekraïne en de voormalige Sovjet-Unie van binnenuit kennen.

RT and Sputnik

B: we launched a complaint, https://www.bit.nl/FOIC-goes-to-court

SK: Blocking RT and Sputnik is not limiting access to information, as these are not independent media but weapons created and lavishly funded by the aggressor. It is blocking agressor state’s weapon on EU territory.

SK:I agree that the post-postmodernist reality has put us in front of a new challenge: while we used to have too little freedom of speech/ access to information and fought to gain more, we have now landed in a situation where we have access to so much information, growing exponentially, that we no longer have the mental capacity or time or resources to discern purposefully false and weaponized statements from true records. What we mostly need is media literacy (stop limiting children’s screen time, let them build up resilience, talk about disinformation) and accessible tools to debunk false information/ disinformation. It’s a huge and difficult dilemma, probably one of the worst of our time, alongside with climate change. What I argue about is that now, with the war going on and hundreds of independent Russian journalists having a hard time getting the ends meet and desperately in need of our support, I find it strange that NGOs spend money and human resource on what is essentially helping the aggressor. I know this was not their goal, but this is unfortunately a perfect example of what Lenin called “useful idiots” (people in the West who assisted the bolsheviks without realizing it).

I know many independent Russian information workers have trouble accessing EU visas, grants denied! (17 05 2022)
  • It might be good to add a note somewhere in that list on how the same need is urgent for academics and cultural workers at risk (from Ru & Be, I’d say). No need to expand the initiative, a mere alert/extra sentence would help in flagging this broader need. (Ellen) We are writing an open letter to the ministry of foreign affairs in NL. I already mentioned this here, really need support in placing the letter. We are finishing it on Thursday (Kris)

The Last Days Of Mariupol’s Internet - Engineers who kept Ukraine’s port city online have gone missing or died in the carnage inflicted by Russia’s siege. Hope remains that Ukrainian cities knocked off the internet map will come back online fast—once the shelling ends.

From a Ukrainian colleague, a recommendation: "Some twitter accounts to follow: @DmytroKuleba (Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, I saw this account being prised for efficient communication, could be interesting from professional point of view as well), @Kyivindependent, @ukraine_world (news in English), @andersostlund (a Swedish journalist reporting from Kyiv), @nolanwpeterson (war reporter based in Ukraine since 2014).

A Wikipedia author has been arrested in Belarus. Wikipedia advises all editors in Belarus and Russia to hide their personal data, and to write/complete articles about war only from secret accounts. Question: If they write under a pseudonym, is their IP address untraceable, or are they masked by Wikipedia?
