December 13, 2024 569. Iryna Baturevych - How Ukrainian Cultural Talent has been Repressed, Tormented, Silenced and Erased.
Iryna Baturevych is a co-founder of the Chytomo media project (NGO), the
Ukrainian independent media covering publishing and contemporary
literary and cultural processes in Ukraine. Together with the Chytomo
team, she organized the Ukrainian Chytomo Award for the Outstanding
Achievements in Publishing. The publishing markets observer. In 2022,
she co-founded the Ukrainian Club of Montreal.
Iryna is a deputy director and a head of the analytical department of
the Ukrainian Book Institute, guest teacher of the Kyiv National Taras
Shevchenko University.
Iryna presented the Ukrainian publishing market in more than 15
international events including the biggest book fairs and forums:
Frankfurt Book Fair (Germany), Bologna Book Fair (Italy), Salon du livre
(Canada), etc. Iryna has 15 years of experience in publishing and
media, articles were published in the Ukrainian media (Chytomo.com, Day
Newspaper, Ukrainska Pravda), and professional media abroad (e.g. PW,
Publishing Perspectives, Boersenblatt).
__
How Chytomo media was created:
“I’ve always been driven by a desire to engage in tasks that propel me
forward. Back in 2009, I was writing my university master’s thesis. I
used this as an opportunity to create something practical and impactful.
And I knew that Oksana (Oksana Khmelyovska, Chytomo co-founder,
editor-in-chief) shared this vision and was the ideal partner to help me
bring it to life. Besides, we recognised that the key to our growth lay
not only in analyzing the process, but in engaging directly with
industry experts
— publishers, managers, writers, and designers. How? Given our
journalistic background, we decided to start Chytomo — an online
magazine about publishing, literature, and design. For the past 14
years, we have been leading this project, and I am pleased to see that
Chytomo has now become an influential platform for aspiring publishing
professionals in Ukraine, a tool for fostering a culture of reading, and
a media outlet that introduces Ukrainian publishing and literature to a
global audience.”

December 11, 2024 568. Olga Vlasova - Manipulating Fear and Incentives Form Complex Array of Tactics used by Putin's Regime
A complex array of tactics are employed by the Russian government to
manipulate public sentiment in connection with Russia's war in Ukraine,
and to stifle any internal dissent. Studying the "politics of
pacification" can help us understand how authoritarian regimes maintain
control over society through a mixture of incentives and fear. As
dissent increases, then repression needs to find new and more effective
ways to maintain the authoritarian status quo and semblance of
normality. But there are implications also for state capture, because
these techniques can be learned, shared and imposed on other societies;
their adaptations can be used as a toolkit for state capture and
authoritarian control.
----------
Olga Vlasova is a Visiting Scholar at King’s Russia Institute, where she
conducts research on Russian politics, and has a background in both
practical politics and political science. Olga conducts research into
the "politics of fear and calming" in Russia. Olga’s dedication to
democracy and public service is evident in her active involvement in
Russian politics, when that was more openly possible. She has also been a
candidate in parliamentary elections, an authorized representative in
presidential elections, and has played a significant role in the
campaigns of centrist party in the Duma YABLOKO. Olga's research also
focuses on propaganda and media, societal support for violence, digital
authoritarianism, educational policies, and political education in
contemporary European states.

December 10, 2024 566. Rose Wang - Bluesky Social Aims to Help Users Escape the Tyranny and Toxicity of Social Algorithms
It’s been claimed that on Election Day in the US 280,000 X users closed
their accounts. At the same time, Bluesky saw a massive spike in new
users, up from 13 million in October, surpassing 21 by November. Rose
Wang, whom I’m honoured to speaking with today, is quoted as saying that
the company's 20-person team has been in "firefighting mode" as this
spectacular growth has far surpassed their projections and has caused
some technical stress. Bluesky is touted as a far more decentralised and
democratic digital experience, that aims to avoid issues that have
dogged all other social platform as they scaled and commercialised their
business models. Let’s find out how Rose and her team intent to achieve
this.
----------
Rose Wang is Chief Operating Officer of Bluesky Social, a microblogging
social media service. It was spun out from Twitter, after its
acquisition by Elon Musk. Although similar to Twitter in look and feel,
Bluesky Social has ambitions to expand and innovate its platform
significantly. Rose was also CEO and Co-founder of Chirps, a snack
product made from insect protein, with the progressive ambition to
reduce land and water usage, and greenhouse gas emissions.

December 08, 2024 Silicon Bites #68 - Assad's Brutal Regime is Falling and Putin Feels the Walls Close in Around him
Edition No68 | 08-12-2024 - Assad is falling – in fact the total
capitulation of his regime may be confirmed by the time this episode
comes out. The mainstream media are paying attention and giving these
events prominence fitting with their historical importance. The rapid
collapse of the Assad clan’s 50-year reign of tyranny is a major blow to
Russia and Iran in the region and will send out shockwaves to
autocratic regimes around the world. Colour revolutions are back. It’s
doubtful Putin will see these as organic manifestations of people power,
or reactions to the brutal repressions of dictators. For him, autocracy
is the natural order of the world, so he is likely to see plots and
conspiracies by his enemies behind the unfolding events. The walls are
closing in on Putin, as one-by-one his schemes to project Russian power,
control and influence fail.

https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras
----------
Hezbollah and Hamas are decimated, and their power much reduced. The
Islamic Republic of Iran is greatly weakened and humiliated. The attempt
at state capture in Romania through one of the Kremlin’s puppet
populist politicians has failed decisively. The reaction of the Romains
security services, and electoral commission provides a template for how
sovereign democracies should fight back hard against Kremlin influence
and operations. The decades-long attempt at state capture in Georgia is
faltering, fast descending into brutal repression and violence. The mask
of Kremlin intentions has been ripped off. The hybrid approach is no
longer effective, and they are resorting to brutish violence in their
desperation.
Lenin's quote comes to mind, there are decades when nothing happens and
then weeks when decades happen.

December 07, 2024 Silicon Bites #67 - Mr Carlson Comes to Moscow to Amplify The Kremlin's Nuclear Terroristic Threats.
Edition No67 | 06-12-2024 - Love him or loath him, Tucker Carlson has a
knack for sucking the oxygen out of the information space. He creates
friction, he generates headlines, he grabs attention. “Nothing is what
it seems” is the apparent philosophy behind his media persona. He is
just asking the ‘difficult questions’ that nobody else wants to ask.
Looking for alternative ideas and uncovering the deep state conspiracies
that manipulate us and ruin our lives. The trouble is the overall
framing of his work is deeply imbued with highly partisan and
propagandistic narratives. He has a purpose, and it is itself deeply
manipulative and aligned with oligarchic money interests. No wonder the
Kremlin and Russian state TV love him. No wonder he has been called back
to Moscow when they find themselves in a real pickle.

His persona perfectly matches the strategic purpose of networks like RT,
whose strapline is “question everything”. The underlying message behind
much of Russian propagandistic media is – "все не так однозначно" – or
“It’s really not so simple”. Stoke division, yes. Divide and conquer –
of course. But fundamentally, Russian propaganda is about denying your
agency. Preventing you from uniting, collaborating and organising to
resist the forceful expansion of its influence and interests. It does
this by eroding trust, sowing division and enmity, and fostering the
nihilistic idea of informational ambiguity. There is no truth or
morality – it’s all relative. My opinion is just as valid as your facts.
It’s complicated. Politics makes no difference. There are always two
sides of each story, and both are lies in their own ways. But lies can
be equated with truth. The aggressor with the victim. It’s cynical. It’s
corrosive. It’s effective. Think Doublespeak from Orwell’s 1984. Black
is white. Up is down. And Russia always lies.
It shouldn’t work, but it does, and increasingly this approach has power
in the era of weaponised social media algorithms, fragmented media,
weak institutions, disenchantment with party politics and the decline of
class identities. It’s the outer clothing of a regime that does not
pursue ideology or morality of any kind, but a pure projection of power
and material demands. Because those material demands are in the service
of a small parasitic elite, with an extraction mentality; the result is
always going to be negative. They are not grasping for power as an
extension of their country’s or people’s interests, but for their own
benefit.
