Fascinating point about the author’s inclination as a Soviet emigre to Britain to move back to Russia after the end of the Cold War, because it enabled him to define his British on his own terms.

Interesting, propaganda offers “ersatz agency.”

WW1 era German newspaper reporting “blurring the lines between the private and the public” brought people from Berlin to the front, creating new spatialities and conceptions of the nation. I wonder how much he’s drawing on Fritzsche, who argues this is going on already in 1900 (Reading Berlin 1900) and accelerates massively with the war (Germans into Nazis), vs Sefton Delmer’s memories of this moment.

Rather interesting narrative about the experience of enemy alien status at the start of World War I.
