  1. Maidan 2.0

    Maidan 2.0. Letter from Kyiv the 10th of December 2013.

  2. Fatherhood Across space and time Russia in perspective

    Fatherhood in Russia today is a vague institution. The role of the father is developing in several directions at the same time, both in state policies and in the private sphere. The lack of coherence is somewhat surprising since active, engaged fatherhood has proven to be an important factor to reverse declining birth rates, which is a key factor behind Russia's current demographic crisis.

  3. Children left behind A growing problem in EU

    Many who migrate are forced to leave their children in their home country. Children being left behind in this way has become a problem in the EU, as Påhl Ruin relates in a report from Lithuania. The children don’t thrive, and there is a risk that they will become social outsiders.

  4. Latvians in Guernsey An emerging translocal labor diaspora

    The Channel Island of Guernsey was among the first places for Latvians to look for work abroad after the mid-1990s. Over time, an emerging culture of migration has developed on Guernsey among the Latvians.

  5. The geoaesthetics of (east) european tristesse. Ulrich Seidl’s Import/Export

    Literary scholar David Williams analyzes Ulrich Seidl’s film Import/Export and criticizes Seidl for using and humiliating amateur actors with the aim of telling a story that ultimately only underscores a stereotypical image of the East: as precisely an object of pleasure for the West.

  6. Russia as enfant terrible. In the eye of the “others”

  7. Frameworks for University Cooperation in the Baltic Sea Region

  8. Design institute VNIITE closes its doors

    VNIITE, once the world’s largest institute of design research, ceased to exist on June 14, 2013. It was once conceived as a marriage of engineering and aesthetics. Intellectual abilities and sensitivity were to be respected rather than viewed as problems.
