The confessions of the perpetrators in Moscow sound familiar, in the same way hits are organized in the Netherlands, using Telegram, cuit-outs, expendable people. Motivation is clearly money it seems. Literally anybody could be behind it but applying Ockham's razor, IS /ISIS is most likely. But it's also clear Putin has many reasons to try to connect Ukraine with it. Also in Russia no fair and independent investigation is possible.

“The editors particularly invited reflections on how (…) disciplinary orientations constrain inquiry. But that, I think, is not the real issue.

(…) Scholars simply don’t have time to read each other’s work, because they have to write.”
