Mir Publishers’ books from the Soviet era were really good & very cheap in India – I miss them sorely 😢:
“Mir Books” (https://mirtitles.org/).

About a hundred years ago, this is what "left" looked like through the Overton window. It didn't work at its extreme, but neither does the extreme right.

"The accusation that #Jews can never truly belong to the countries they call home is one of the oldest #antisemitic #tropes in history. In #Spain Jews were forced to convert to #Catholicism or face expulsion; in #France they were asked to #assimilate by practising their #Judaism in private; and in the #SovietUnion Jews were pressured to abandon religious practice and suppress expressions of #Jewish identity.
No matter how long the Jewish community contributed to a society, we were always suspected of serving someone else.
Time has passed and the language has changed but the accusation has not. For the past three years, I have seen this rhetoric become normalised. #Online forums and comment sections have become a cesspool of antisemitic abuse.
Add to that a layer of #misogyny and violent sexualised comments directed at my partner, and even harm wished upon our newborn baby."

"Abdul Ahad Momand, #Afghanistan’s first #cosmonaut, passed away on Sunday after battling cancer.
Momand was the first Afghan and the fourth Muslim in history to travel to #space. In 1988, he spent nine days aboard the #SovietUnion’s Mir space station."

"Like so many times throughout #Jewishhistory, a thriving #Jewish center may slowly fade, not because of a single event, but because political decisions, ideological extremism, and a growing sense of insecurity convince people that their future lies elsewhere.
Perhaps the greatest tragedy is that this feels painfully familiar. Throughout history, #Jews have often discovered too late that the political movements they believed would protect them had turned against them. After the #FrenchRevolution, a movement built on the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity failed to eradicate #antisemitism, which soon found new political expressions. In the #SovietUnion, many #Jews initially embraced the revolutionary promise of equality, only to become targets of suspicion, repression, and state-sponsored antisemitism.
I fear we are witnessing a similar pattern[...]"
