I decided to use my non-existent departmental authority at the Department of Geosciences and Geography of #UniHelsinki, and took down some flyers and adverts for events from 5+ years ago, and hung up some cool maps of #Estonia from 1992. The maps were just laying on the coffee table of our break room, and I could not let them get any coffee stains.

"In 1962, the Democratic German Report, an English-language journal based in the #DDR, published a #map listing the countries in which former members of the #Nazi party were working as ambassadors for the Federal Republic of #Germany. Despite the end of the Third Reich’s reign of terror, the ‘old elites’ quickly re-emerged in the young Federal Republic. Functionaries of the #Hitler regime were appointed to influential positions in the judiciary, universities, the army, and corporations."
