Together with the Chytomo team, she organized the Ukrainian Chytomo Award for the Outstanding Achievements in Publishing. The publishing markets observer. In 2022, she co-founded the Ukrainian Club of Montreal.Iryna is a deputy director and a head of the analytical department of the Ukrainian Book Institute, guest teacher of the Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University.Iryna presented the Ukrainian publishing market in more than 15 international events including the biggest book fairs and forums: Frankfurt Book Fair (Germany), Bologna Book Fair (Italy), Salon du livre (Canada), etc. Iryna has 15 years of experience in publishing and media, articles were published in the Ukrainian media (Chytomo.com, Day Newspaper, Ukrainska Pravda), and professional media abroad (e.g. PW, Publishing Perspectives, Boersenblatt).__How Chytomo media was created:“I’ve always been driven by a desire to engage in tasks that propel me forward. Back in 2009, I was writing my university master’s thesis. I used this as an opportunity to create something practical and impactful. And I knew that Oksana (Oksana Khmelyovska, Chytomo co-founder, editor-in-chief) shared this vision and was the ideal partner to help me bring it to life. Besides, we recognised that the key to our growth lay not only in analyzing the process, but in engaging directly with industry experts — publishers, managers, writers, and designers. How? Given our journalistic background, we decided to start Chytomo — an online magazine about publishing, literature, and design. For the past 14 years, we have been leading this project, and I am pleased to see that Chytomo has now become an influential platform for aspiring publishing professionals in Ukraine, a tool for fostering a culture of reading, and a media outlet that introduces Ukrainian publishing and literature to a global audience.”__LINKS:https://chytomo.com/en/authors/iryna-baturevych-2/ https://culturalhub.org/publication_author/iryna-baturevych/https://ukraineworld.org/en/podcasts/ep-325https://publishingperspectives.com/tag/iryna-baturevych/https://www.linkedin.com/in/iryna-baturevych-520a0b23/----------PUBLICATIONS:Wettbewerb auf Spitzenniveau https://www.boersenblatt.net/news/wettbewerb-auf-spitzenniveau-327671 (DE)https://www.giornaledellalibreria.it/scritti-da/iryna-baturevych-1917.html (IT)https://life.pravda.com.ua/authors/656ef0f89a2df/ (UA)Interviews:UkraineWorld Ukrainian non-fiction books: what is available in English? – with Iryna BaturevychPublishing Perspectives: Ukraine’s Iryna Baturevych: ‘Solidarity Is Our Superpower’La Press Un essor inattendu pour le marché du livre en UkraineLe Devoir En Ukraine, poésie de guerre et livres bombardés----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

A complex array of tactics are employed by the Russian government to manipulate public sentiment in connection with Russia's war in Ukraine, and to stifle any internal dissent. Studying the "politics of pacification" can help us understand how authoritarian regimes maintain control over society through a mixture of incentives and fear. As dissent increases, then repression needs to find new and more effective ways to maintain the authoritarian status quo and semblance of normality. But there are implications also for state capture, because these techniques can be learned, shared and imposed on other societies; their adaptations can be used as a toolkit for state capture and authoritarian control. ----------Olga Vlasova is a Visiting Scholar at King’s Russia Institute, where she conducts research on Russian politics, and has a background in both practical politics and political science. Olga conducts research into the "politics of fear and calming" in Russia. Olga’s dedication to democracy and public service is evident in her active involvement in Russian politics, when that was more openly possible. She has also been a candidate in parliamentary elections, an authorized representative in presidential elections, and has played a significant role in the campaigns of centrist party in the Duma YABLOKO. Olga's research also focuses on propaganda and media, societal support for violence, digital authoritarianism, educational policies, and political education in contemporary European states.----------LINKS: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ovlas/https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/olga-vlasova https://nationalinterest.org/profile/olga-vlasovahttps://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/15/thursday-briefing-ukraine-incursion-russian-views-of-war----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

It’s been claimed that on Election Day in the US 280,000 X users closed their accounts. At the same time, Bluesky saw a massive spike in new users, up from 13 million in October, surpassing 21 by November. Rose Wang, whom I’m honoured to speaking with today, is quoted as saying that the company's 20-person team has been in "firefighting mode" as this spectacular growth has far surpassed their projections and has caused some technical stress. Bluesky is touted as a far more decentralised and democratic digital experience, that aims to avoid issues that have dogged all other social platform as they scaled and commercialised their business models. Let’s find out how Rose and her team intent to achieve this. ----------Rose Wang is Chief Operating Officer of Bluesky Social, a microblogging social media service. It was spun out from Twitter, after its acquisition by Elon Musk. Although similar to Twitter in look and feel, Bluesky Social has ambitions to expand and innovate its platform significantly. Rose was also CEO and Co-founder of Chirps, a snack product made from insect protein, with the progressive ambition to reduce land and water usage, and greenhouse gas emissions. ----------LINKS:https://x.com/iamrosewang https://x.com/bluesky https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosewang20/ ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Edition No68 | 08-12-2024 - Assad is falling – in fact the total capitulation of his regime may be confirmed by the time this episode comes out. The mainstream media are paying attention and giving these events prominence fitting with their historical importance. The rapid collapse of the Assad clan’s 50-year reign of tyranny is a major blow to Russia and Iran in the region and will send out shockwaves to autocratic regimes around the world. Colour revolutions are back. It’s doubtful Putin will see these as organic manifestations of people power, or reactions to the brutal repressions of dictators. For him, autocracy is the natural order of the world, so he is likely to see plots and conspiracies by his enemies behind the unfolding events. The walls are closing in on Putin, as one-by-one his schemes to project Russian power, control and influence fail. ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------Hezbollah and Hamas are decimated, and their power much reduced. The Islamic Republic of Iran is greatly weakened and humiliated. The attempt at state capture in Romania through one of the Kremlin’s puppet populist politicians has failed decisively. The reaction of the Romains security services, and electoral commission provides a template for how sovereign democracies should fight back hard against Kremlin influence and operations. The decades-long attempt at state capture in Georgia is faltering, fast descending into brutal repression and violence. The mask of Kremlin intentions has been ripped off. The hybrid approach is no longer effective, and they are resorting to brutish violence in their desperation. Lenin's quote comes to mind, there are decades when nothing happens and then weeks when decades happen. ----------NEWS SOURCES:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/12/08/assad-suspected-fleeing-russia-flight-disappears-off-radar/ https://phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-update-110-ukraine-and-thehttps://www.ndtv.com/world-news/syria-war-live-updates-syrian-rebels-advance-on-damascus-homs-hezbollah-withdraws-forces-president-bashar-al-assad-7198116timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/mohammed-al-jolani-the-rebel-leader-who-toppled-assads-rule-in-syria/articleshow/116099586.cms ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Edition No67 | 06-12-2024 - Love him or loath him, Tucker Carlson has a knack for sucking the oxygen out of the information space. He creates friction, he generates headlines, he grabs attention. “Nothing is what it seems” is the apparent philosophy behind his media persona. He is just asking the ‘difficult questions’ that nobody else wants to ask. Looking for alternative ideas and uncovering the deep state conspiracies that manipulate us and ruin our lives. The trouble is the overall framing of his work is deeply imbued with highly partisan and propagandistic narratives. He has a purpose, and it is itself deeply manipulative and aligned with oligarchic money interests. No wonder the Kremlin and Russian state TV love him. No wonder he has been called back to Moscow when they find themselves in a real pickle. ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------His persona perfectly matches the strategic purpose of networks like RT, whose strapline is “question everything”. The underlying message behind much of Russian propagandistic media is – "все не так однозначно" – or “It’s really not so simple”. Stoke division, yes. Divide and conquer – of course. But fundamentally, Russian propaganda is about denying your agency. Preventing you from uniting, collaborating and organising to resist the forceful expansion of its influence and interests. It does this by eroding trust, sowing division and enmity, and fostering the nihilistic idea of informational ambiguity. There is no truth or morality – it’s all relative. My opinion is just as valid as your facts. It’s complicated. Politics makes no difference. There are always two sides of each story, and both are lies in their own ways. But lies can be equated with truth. The aggressor with the victim. It’s cynical. It’s corrosive. It’s effective. Think Doublespeak from Orwell’s 1984. Black is white. Up is down. And Russia always lies. It shouldn’t work, but it does, and increasingly this approach has power in the era of weaponised social media algorithms, fragmented media, weak institutions, disenchantment with party politics and the decline of class identities. It’s the outer clothing of a regime that does not pursue ideology or morality of any kind, but a pure projection of power and material demands. Because those material demands are in the service of a small parasitic elite, with an extraction mentality; the result is always going to be negative. They are not grasping for power as an extension of their country’s or people’s interests, but for their own benefit. ----------NEWS SOURCES:https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/tucker-carlson-russia-moscow-interview-sergei-lavrov-putin-b2658625.htmlhttps://www.politico.eu/article/tucker-carlson-sergey-lavrov-vladimir-putin/https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/12/04/tucker-carlson-interviews-russian-fm-lavrov-in-moscow-a87222https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/tucker-carlson-warns-of-wwiii-but-russias-nuclear-threats-ring-hollow/https://mid.ru/en/foreign_policy/news/1985783/https://stevenmoore.substack.com/p/tucker-carlsons-tourism-in-russiahttps://uacrisis.org/en/tucker-carlson-in-moscow-again https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tymofiy-mylovanov-1a13112_lavrov-through-tucker-carlson-delivers-activity-7270765240839979009-3w1c?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------

Edition No66 | 01-12-2024 - It is an illusion that Putin wants the war to end. In fact, he needs the war not to end, to perpetuate his regime. There are no limits to how many Russians he will sacrifice to save his own neck, how much blood he will spill to save the 10.5 pints in his own body. He is quite prepared to burn all of Russia’s economy and resources, for as long as that keep him in power. So, the determination of President-elect Donald Trump to achieve a settlement of the war, any deal in fact, so he can boast to his supporters that he delivered on campaign promises. As we’ve suggested in a recent episode, it would seem Putin and Trump are on a collision course. ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------NEWS SOURCES:https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-polytics/3932396-zelensky-putin-seeks-to-escalate-so-that-trump-cant-end-war.html https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1982490/Trump-Putin-MI6-Europe-Ukraine-warhttps://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/vladimir-putin-russian-president-donald-trump-us-president-elect-ukraine-assassination-threats-2642092-2024-11-29https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russia-ukraine-war-map-live-uk-putin-nuclear-threat-b2656716.htmlhttps://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/putin-sends-chilling-warning-to-trump-over-his-safety-as-he-threatens-kyiv-with-oreshnik-missile-strike-101732841021860.htmlhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cdj3kmel349thttps://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1982318/ww3-fears-russia-ukraine-war-latest-vladimir-putinhttps://kyivindependent.com/putin-threatens-to-target-decision-making-centers-in-kyiv-with-oreshnik-missile/https://www.newsweek.com/vladimir-putin-nikolai-patrushev-donald-trump-russia-1984360https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/05/22/how-patrushevs-paranoia-consumed-the-kremlin-a85198https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-putin-ditched-security-chief-nikolai-patrushev-conspiracy/----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Edition No65 | 24-11-2024 - We’ve been predicting that the Russian economy would implode for going on two years, but also pointing out that Russian Central bankers may be able to preserve an impression of stability and normalcy for some considerable time. And so, it’s proved.Russia has been more adept at creating an alternative economy to replace Western exports, and indeed not all the revenue from Western markets dried up despite three nearly years of full-sale war. Grey markets, grey fleets and the fundamental shift to running a brazenly dark economy have helped Russia hugely recover from the initial economic shock of Feb-22. ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------Indeed, it’s the willingness of many countries, especially China and India to benefit from discounted Russian exports of hydrocarbons and raw material that has kept the cash flowing into Russia’s war machine. Many western countries have been entirely hypocritical on this, paying lip service to sanctions, but turning a blind eye as their manufactured goods continues to flow into Russia via intermediary countries neighbouring Putin’s empire. It turns out there are three key levers that can trigger crisis and even collapse in the Russian economy. And to an extent, these could have been triggered at any time over the last 3 years. - Reduce Russia’s sovereign wealth funds that maintain the war economy and currency- Work to reduce the global price of oil, hitting Russia’s grey fleet exports hard- Tighten sanction to stop the flow of goods and revenue into Kremlin war machine Russia amassed a huge sovereign wealth fund over many years of relatively frugal financial management amid soaring oil prices. It’s mind boggling to think what could have been done to improve standards of living in Russia if you combine the revenues wasted on war with the mountains of cash stolen by the kleptocratic classes. Anyway, that wealth fund – the fighting war chest – is running out. The flows of money into it from the external economy are lessening or are held in non-conventical currencies such as Rupees or Yuan. The domestic economy is flagging (and the income it generates in taxes) as is moves to more of a nationalised, militarised economy. So, the money lake is draining down. ----------NEWS SOURCES:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/27/russias-rouble-plunges-to-lowest-rate-since-early-weeks-of-ukraine-warhttps://www.ft.com/content/6189fdb4-d1ef-4e0b-a7f1-e7f9a7286df5https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/11/27/7486548/https://timothyash.substack.com/p/the-rouble-is-melting-finally?r=ynli4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=truehttps://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/11/27/russian-central-bank-halts-currency-buying-until-2025-as-ruble-slides-a87147----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.
