Orwellian: Routledge refuses to publish my open access book "From the Maidan to the Russia-Ukraine War" which is under contract. They express “concern” with my analysis of the West blocking the peace deal, open access book crowdfunding, my analysis of Ukrainian and US involvement in the Nord Stream bombing, and my analysis of all other conflicts and issues. They state that I have to include "alternative" sources and perspectives.

This unprecedented refusal to publish my book is made by Routledge even though two anonymous reviewers provided extremely favorable reviews and recommended my book publication by Routledge without any substantive changes. And four leading American, British, and Ukrainian experts wrote very favorable endorsements of the book. Several of my book chapters are also based on my updated and expanded peer-reviewed publications.
