Infobrics.org, the joint website of the ministries of foreign affairs of the BRICS member states, has no information about the unlawful attacks against member state Iran. There’s also no mention of the June 16-17 BRICS consultations on the conflict. Instead, on June 17, infobrics.org announced the creation of the bloc’s “first recommendation on climate finance,” which calls on “multilateral development banks (MDBs) to mobilize private capital for climate action in the Global South”. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/iran-still-waiting-for-brics-to-condemn

When Very Serious and Independent Internet Thought Leaders salivate over how BRICS boasts 45% of the world’s population, and 35% of global GDP, and half the world’s strategic marmalade reserves, etc., etc., why is there never any discussion about WHAT THIS ALLEGEDLY ASCENDANT GEOPOLITICAL POWER BLOC SUPPORTS, ADVOCATES FOR, LIKES A LOT, AND SO FORTH? https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/brics-and-the-pandemic-agreement

I am pleased to present the second installment of the Edward Institute for Village Studies’ (EIVS) new Netflix series, At the Tomb of the Unknown Villager. The time capsule I opened in this episode was full of surprises. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/i-found-the-villages-secret-cigarette

The cabin itself was unexceptional as far as abandoned village houses are concerned. The windowpanes showed signs of distress, the roof was sprinkled with holes, and the front door was AWOL. Inside, the décor was standard: a few pieces of dilapidated furniture complimented by soiled linen, miscellaneous grime-caked cutlery, and empty bottles of vodka and beer left behind by teenagers, or squatters, or teenage squatters. There was nothing remarkable about it, until we found photographs lying on a stained, Soviet mattress. And suddenly, the gutted one-room cabin came to life. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/at-the-tomb-of-the-unknown-villager

On a chilly March afternoon, Edward Institute for Village Studies (EIVS) co-founder Ekaterina requested an audience with villager Tatyana Dmitrievna.

The resulting conversation was meticulously translated by Ekaterina, who by popular demand has graced us with another Village Interview. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/singing-without-teeth
