On Monday 20 March the Times reported that a Russian spy had been unmasked in Greece.* This story was not very unusual in itself, as it fit into a larger pattern of Russian spies having their cover blown since the start of the war in Ukraine.

Maartje Mensink, a third-year International Studies student with a focus on East Asia and Mandarin, shares her journey into the world of global democracy advocacy. Maartje recounts her experience with the NGO Democracy Without Borders (DWB), an organization that seeks to make the United Nations (UN) more democratic and representative. It has offices all over the world, filled with over 100 volunteers, but its headquarters, where Maartje was engaged, are based in Berlin.
