#Euraknot's really interesting talk w/ #PietroShakarian about his book #AnastasMikoyan: An Armenian Reformer in #Khrushchev's Kremlin.
"How did he push for #destalinization after the leader’s death in 1953, particularly on #SovietNationalityPolicy? Shakarian tells us that in the end, #Mikoyan was more than a survivor. He was a critical player in shaping the post-Stalinist #SovietUnion."

Just finished reading Jacek Dehnel's LaLa, a novel. A warm tribute to his Grandmother, written with humour, pathos and genuine respect for an extraordinary woman. I loved it. My eastern European roots reached for similarities and recognisable family discussions and experiences. A wonderful read.

CW: Biography of Gordon Brown, reviewed by Jonathan Freedland
A new biography of Gordon Brown, by James Macintyre, reviewed by Jonathan Freedland.
I always had a lot of sympathy for Gordon Brown. His politics was far from perfect and the New Labour project started trends that did not end well. But, hell, what Labour did in government after 1997 was an incredible achievement, and Brown as Chancellor made it happen. The man also has personal integtity. On all of these fronts, the current Labour crop fail abysmally.
A sympatheric review of a sympathetic biography. I probably won't buy the book, but I recommend reading the review.
And I raise my virtual class to a politician of integrity and stature.
