Ariadne’s thread is a platform for the critical public discussion, comprehension and reflection of the Russian war with Ukraine. It aims to give voice and space to those who face and/or stand against this war through active protests, volunteering, collecting evidence and data, disseminating information, or through any other form. Ariadne’s thread is intended to fixate thoroughly on the public and scholarly ideas, thoughts, affects, and emotions arising amid and over the horrific Russian invasion of Ukraine. It facilitates an in-depth understanding of the disastrous events of our time and their consequences. In doing so, it set to lit light our way to a better peaceful tomorrow. The podcast is led by postdoctoral researcher Anna Avdeeva at the Swedish School of Social Science, University of Helsinki. https://www.studiosockom.fi/en
