I came here to let everyone know that I just found this tweet on Stanislav Aseyev's twitter account: https://twitter.com/AseyevStanislav/status/1543549445664608256?cxt=HHwWgMC4od6C5esqAAAA Remember TS's Feb. 27 post, "Isolation," which was about "The Torture Camp on Paradise Street," and that none of us could figure out how to get a copy? Well in a July 3 tweet S.A. writes, "In a couple of months: [. . .]" then provides a link to HURI Books, and there it is! It's not yet on amazon for pre-order, but I clicked on the "Get notified when this book is released" icon in the link at HURI Books, so I'm good to go. https://books.huri.harvard.edu/books/the-torture-camp-on-paradise-street And don't forget about his "In Isolation: Dispatches from Occupied Donbas."
Thank you for this insight: "Putin is revealing a problem with the "cancel culture" meme by taking it to its logical extreme. When we complain of “cancel culture” we seem to be saying that we wish for contact. But the complaint is deployed to insist upon domination." By the way, in case you haven't seen it, there is a new article in NYRB dated July 21, 2022, "Memory Wars in Latvia," by Gordon F. Sander: "In Riga, the invasion of Ukraine has revived controversies over Soviet-era monuments and anxieties about Russian expansionism." https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2022/07/21/memory-wars-in-latvia-gordon-sander/
A public intellectual here in Italy has mounted furious attacks on those who disparage classical Russian culture because of Putin's actions. He mentioned recently in a curious aside that Thomas Mann's favorite writer was Dostoyevsky. What he didn't reference was Mann's Doctor Faustus, which is devoted to the sickening destruction of Germany itself, and classic German culture, by Hitler and the Nazis.
