I'm sorry for any inconvenience it might have caused that I disabled "anonymous" comments here for a few days. It turns out that it apparently also made it so that the "open ID" users without WordPress, LJ etc. identities also were not accepted, and I think that's the majority of our commenting visitors.
Sorry! m (_ _) m
The reason why I disabled it was that I got tired of some very stupid anonymous comments on another of my blogs (blogofswine.blogspot.com), and went berserk and banned anonymous comments on all the blogs I admin. But that hasn't really been much of a problem here.
About us
Tinet - after many years of studying among other things the Russian language and the cultural history of Russia, the Soviet Union and the Middle East, she has moved to one of the many cities of her dreams (Berlin, Germany) and works as a gun for hire for various publishing companies with typesetting, graphic design, translating and writing, besides drawing comics about funny Russians. She dreams of making big fat richly illustrated coffee table books about the images of Central Asian, Caucasian or Russian men from a cultural historic angle.
Ainur - Ph.D. of History at the University of Lund, Sweden, who in her research has focused on nationalism, identity and stereotypes, mainly in the context of Finnish views on Swedes. She also draws historically correct comics about the Jazz age in the 1920's, which also deal with nationalism, identity and stereotypes, in a quite entertaining way.
Tinet and Ainur are sisters, and their ethnic background is as follows: 62.5% Finnish, 25% Mishär Tatar, 12.5% Kale (Finnish Roma).
