Powerful people are trying to remake our world. They are redrawing international borders with force, betraying and stealing from those they consider weak, only making our future more dangerous and uncertain. Technology, too, is reshaping the global order – changing who has power and how it is exercised.

​​​​​​

Who Ate All the Minsk Pies? aims to help readers to make sense of this world. It explains and interprets international politics, getting underneath the headlines and away from the doom-scrolling. Read free sample articles here (on Trump's interest in taking over Greenland) and here (on the UK's risky relationship with China).​​​​​​​

​​​

Who Ate All the Minsk Pies? is written by an Oxford PhD in International Relations with specialist knowledge of Russia and its neighbours from extensive in-country experience. The author of the website has one published book, another under contract, and a third half-written. He also offers teaching and consultancy services on geopolitics, US-Russia relations, Russian foreign policy, all things Belarus-related, and international security.
