Wikinews contacted Dr. Jeremy Morris, Professor of Russian and Balkan Studies at Aarhus University in Aarhus, Denmark, for an interview. His responses last week are below.

The same year, he was shortlisted for the BBC Radio 4 program Thinking Allowed’s Ethnography Award for his 2013 article Beyond coping?
