    • Vi må halde kontakten med russiske intellektuelle 

      Nesset, Tore (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2022-03-18)
      Krigen i Ukraina har til fulle vist kva slags regime vi har i vårt største granneland. Russland er styrt av menneske som har rana til seg store verdiar frå folket, og som ikkje skyr noko middel i den blodige krigen dei har sett i gang.<p> <p>I ein slik situasjon er det forståeleg at somme tar til orde for å kutte alt samarbeid med Russland. Eg vil argumentere for at det ikkje er klokt. Eg vil ...

    • Vi må halde kontakten med russiske akademikarar og intellektuelle 

      Nesset, Tore (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2022-03-19)
      «Eit kvart folk, og særleg det russiske, vil klare å skilje ekte patriotar frå avskum og forrædarar og kjem ganske enkelt til å spytte dei ut som eit insekt som tilfeldigvis har hamna i munnen.» <p> <p>Med disse orda vende den russiske presidenten seg til folket i Russland for nokre dagar sidan. Språket er grovt, og meldinga er klar: Har du kontakt med vesten, skal det gå deg ille.<p> <p>Krigen ...

    • Fire forslag for forsknings­samarbeid med Russland 

      Nesset, Tore (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2022-03-25)
      Norske myndigheter har bestemt at vi skal fryse samarbeid på institusjonsnivå. Samtidig har myndighetene gjort det klart at Norge ikke deltar i noen akademisk boikott. Hvordan navigerer vi i denne gråsonen?
