Visit by an #invasive #species on my windowsill in #Berlin: harvestman #Opilio #canestrinii (#Phalangiidae, #Opiliones). Although #globalwarming has recently made numerous invasive species native to #CentralEurope, some species were able to establish themselves already several decades ago, such as the opilionid presented here.

And, 30 years later, a response to #Kundera by #Ukrainian intellectual Mykola #Riabchuk: "Shifting the Wall Further East."
https://www.aspen.review/article/2021/shifting-wall-east-kunderas-tragedy-central-europe-three-decades-later/
Ryabchuk points out that Kundera's setting "Western" European traditions against "Eastern" non-European ones - pushed nations further east outside the consciousness of Europeans, where they were left to fend for themselves against an #Russian will to dominate.

The first is Milan Kundera's "Un Occident kidnappé" of 1984, here in English translation: "The Tragedy of Central Europe"
https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1984/04/26/the-tragedy-of-central-europe/
#Kundera sets the culture of Central European nations against the foreign culture of Russian colonisation, bemoaning in passing the demise of the #Habsburg Empire.

Was made aware of two very thought-provoking essays about Central Europe. As a non-expert I can't really judge them, still, they fascinate me and make me want to read more. They deal with the problems Central and Central-Eastern European nations faced defending their cultures against an overweening #Russian impulse of colonisation.

THE TRUMPINGTON CROSS BURIAL
The face of a 16-year-old #AngloSaxon girl buried near #Cambridge, #England in the 7th century with an incredibly rare gold and garnet cross has been reconstructed following analysis of her skull. New scientific evidence shows that she moved to #England from #CentralEurope as a young girl, leading to an intriguing change in her diet. She moved to England from somewhere near the #Alps, perhaps southern #Germany.

Workshop on democratic backsliding and penal policy
My colleague Milena Tripković has gathered scholars covering penality in Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia for what looks like an excellent hybrid workshop in Edinburgh and online.

During a trip to Poland last week US president Joe Biden met leaders of the EU’s eastern fringe, heaping praise on them for their help with the war in Ukraine, from which he had just returned. The sense that the war had rejigged the map of who matters in Europe was palpable.
The war in Ukraine has made eastern Europe stronger but will the EU’s new balance of influence endure?

🇵🇱 Old Town Market Square (Rynek Starego Miasta) in Warsaw, Poland. The four sides of the square are named after 18th-century Polish parliamentarians. This is the eastern side, called the Barss' Side (strona Barssa). Warsaw's Old Town was destroyed during WWII and was rebuilt afterwards.

Percentage of respondents who would not "Accept Jews as fellow citizens" in Central and Eastern europe, poll by Pew in 2018. This suggests Ukraine is the least antisemitic of the bunch.
Edit: Just noticed the poll is dated to 2015-2016 (published in 2018). Im surprised at how low Serbia seems to be, and I wonder what this might look like now.
