Is homo post-sovieticus real? A twofold challenge to Mykhailo Minakov’s “The post-Soviet human”
Ways That We Are Wrong
This paper is a theoretical contribution to an ongoing debate regarding the current predicament of truth and knowledge in the era of digital information overflow. It suggests that instead of an â era of post-truthâ in a literal sense, we should talk about a specific period of human informational vulnerability. The paper proposes a scheme for analysing human cognitive patterns that emerge when facing the confusing and murky reality of information …
Fighting with empathy
The article examines the motivations and lived experiences of Lithuanian volunteers supporting Ukraine during Russia’s war of aggression.

Instea…

The evaluation of one‘s own perceived financial wellbeing also proves significance. Meanwhile, education, political knowledge and actual inco…
Central Marginality
The article discusses from an anthropological point of view the reasons why minorities tend to find themselves at the center of tensions in Central-Eastern Europe. It presents an idea that the answer to the question lays in the “human side” of the regional politics. In human experiential terms, the political “character” of the region and the image of ethnic minorities as political phenomena are both grounded in memory of suffering and victimizati…
