Russo-Finnish historian currently living and studying in England. 3rd year undergrad hoping to continue on into academia.
My fields of interest include social, cultural, and environmental history. I am particularly interested in the history of ideas and ideology and answering the question "why do people think what people think", as well as in how history is remembered and represented in popular culture and media today.
Hi all!
I'm an undergrad historian aspiring to academia. I'm interested in cultural history, especially the history of ideas and the representation of history in culture and media
Academically I have mostly studied the US and N America, though recently I developed a keen interest in Soviet history (being a leftist and also originally from Russia), and was hoping to use this platform to connect with others interested in Soviet history
I'm very excited to be here with y'all!
I miss the days of being in high school when people would just walk come to us and say "this is the uni you shoud apply to"
I'm looking into masters right now, why did no-one warn me it would be so stressful 😭
Ho Chi Minh, western left today
"...in many localities our cadres were narrow-minded, tending to keep within the law, were complacent with partial successes, and neglected the consolidation of the Party’s underground organisation. [...] A great number of comrades unprincipledly cooperated with the Trotskyites."
Ho Chi Minh, western left today
Reading Ho Chi Minh's writings for an essay and this particular bit can be read, I think, as a criticism of the western left today, particularly here in England
