The Baltic Studies Program of Stanford University Libraries and The Museum of Occupations in Tallinn have created the blog – Baltic Scholars for Ukraine, in order to foster thoughtful and analytical discussion on the Russian occupation and annexation of Crimea, and the situation in Ukraine, Eastern Europe and Russia in general. The blog is currently looking for new contributions.

Baltic Scholars for Ukraine is intended to serve as a platform where political scientists, historians and other scholars from the Baltic states and/or researching the Baltic states have an opportunity to share their thoughts about the recent events in Ukraine, and the background and implications of these events.

Stanford University Libraries and The Museum of Occupations do not dictate the content of the posts in this blog. Contributors can choose the subjects and nuances they would like to stress, so that their academic background and knowledge of Russia and Eastern Europe result in insightful and interesting analysis about the situation in Ukraine, as well as its meaning to the region in general.

Contributions should be approximately 3-5 pages in length and written in English, Russian, Estonian, Latvian or Lithuanian. Both regular and one time contributions are welcome. If you are interested, please contact the blog via e-mail: liisi.eglit@stanford.edu.

The blog is available here.
