The research paper on Pavel Datsyuk that @markstkhlm and @vladbspm published is filled with great insights. Grateful that Pavel agreed to the interview for the research.

@BBCNews, @itvnews, @Channel4News, @SkyNews, @LBC, why no faux outrage? @Keir_Starmer, why no statement?
Remember when Britain had a week of coordinated outrage when a punk band said death to the genocidal Israeli army? In the North of Ireland, a part of my country Britain still sadly has jurisdiction over, this year like every year, British loyalists call for KAT, i.e., all Irish…
