For over a year, I've been working on a story about Russia and the Russian military. It's the whole issue of the @nytmag -- told in five parts. I spoke to 18 deserters across four continents and eight countries. nytimes.com/interactive/2024…

Took most of a 2 hr train ride last night to read this astonishing @satopol piece on a Russian officer who fled the country after a harrowing near-death experience on the Ukrainian front. So well reported and told, full of cinematic detail. Worth the time. nytimes.com/interactive/2024…

This is of the best pieces of journalism I’ve ever read or listened to.

Magnificent, novelistic piece by @satopol, conveys the internal rot behind the Russian war in Ukraine as well as anything I've seen. nytimes.com/interactive/2024… via @NYTimes

Guest editor @ErikaHayasaki's favorite read is by @satopol, who spent over a year reporting this behind-the-scenes narrative reconstruction. It delves into Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine and the people who are forced to make impossible choices. nytimes.com/interactive/2024…
There is also an audio version, movingly read by @LievSchreiber, if you prefer to listen (or toggle between the two): nytimes.com/2024/09/21/podca…
Immensely grateful to editors @MadZach, @billwasik and @jakesilverstein, the fact checkers and the translators they worked with, the copy editors, as well as the talented @NYTmag design team, who worked tirelessly all summer to bring this story to life.

Yesterday's @nytimes The Daily's The Sunday Read shared "The America That Americans Forget" by #IWMFGrantee @satopol.

The US military is about to build $11 billion-worth of construction projects in people’s backyards in the Pacific islands. What do they get in return? Not much at al. @satopol tells a defining story of a population constantly footnoted. nytimes.com/2023/07/07/magaz…

"We are the price of a ‘free and open Pacific,’ but Guam is not free.” Important @NYTMag piece on the costs of militarism on the people in Guam and other U.S. Pacific territories: nytimes.com/2023/07/07/magaz…

For those who don't know much about Guam or those who want to learn more - this is a comprehensive and excellently written starting point.
As tensions with China rise, the US military is building up on Guam and other Pacific islands — placing the burdens of empire on the nation’s most ignored and underrepresented citizens. My latest story, on the cover of the @NYTmag w/support from the @IWMF: nytimes.com/2023/07/07/magaz…

In @NYTMag, Sarah A. Topol reports on the U.S. military's efforts in Guam: If the United States decides to go to war in the Pacific, would the rest of America really understand what that means, whom it involves or what injustices it perpetuates? nyti.ms/3JPFSh0

I wish everyone would read this piece — it’s so rare that a national publication writes about my islands in a way that feels authentic and accurate but @satopol gets it right:
