Roger Berkowitz
There is a certain overconfidence in the circles I frequent that the world is against Russia and for Ukraine and Nato.

The Faculty Against the Administrators

Roger Berkowitz
There is no dictatorship in the United States threatening university administrators and faculty with prison for violating national security laws.

Disempowered, Disdainful, and Distrustful

The Eternal Victims of Political Elites

Roger Berkowitz
What is behind the pro-Putin sentiment on both the far right and the far left? If you get past your revulsion at those who seemingly embrace Putinism for cynical and self-interested reasons, the support for Putin has a real source in the rampant distrust and disdain for political and cultural elites.
