She is the author of this book so it will be interesting to see how that unfolds

Lenin wasn’t exactly a progressive when it came to sexual liberation; he was personally prudish in many respects. The Soviet feminist Alexandra Kollentai once said that sex should be as uncontroversial as drinking a glass of water. If I recall correctly, Lenin’s reply was, “Maybe for her.”

yes, you’re right it was the NEP Men. More on this when I’ve finished reading – not a fun time as you say – feminist perspective on the times an important part of the book too.

The early 1920′s was the period of Lenin’s “New Economic Policy” – the entrepreneurs presumably are the so-called “NEP Men”, who got shafted the moment that Stalin took over: they made money while they could. Furthermore, Russia had just been through a shattering civil war and the First World War: everyone was on edge at that point, everyone had dagger’s drawn. Not a fun time.

Thanks Lorraine – this fits in some measure with the Safer Internet Day campaign, which Ian Douglas, head of digital production at Telegraph.co.uk has blogged about today (feb 9). He rightly argues that the parents need guidance on what constitutes safe engagement – the boundaries of privacy in another form – so they can teach their children how to be responsible online.

Comment on Privacy, identity and status? by Identity and privacy in the digital age – Lorraine Warren

Identity and privacy in the digital age – Lorraine Warren — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:21:17 +0000

[...] There is a plethora of discussion on multiple identities from many disciplinary perspectives, not just the technical, and how identity manipulation may be carried out for many motives, good and bad. Taking twitter as an example, there are many instances of multiple account holding, often for quite valid reasons – the separation of business and personal identities makes obvious sense from the point of both business and personal reputation and privacy. This is an area that would benefit from further study, not just entrepreneurs, but as a broader issue for society, given the links between privacy and status I discussed in my last post. [...]
