Polina Aronson, a Russian sociologist exiled in Berlin, has dedicated her career to study emotions. She focuses on the differences of "emotional regime" between the Western world, versus Russia and the whole post-Soviet area. Do we feel the same emotions everywhere in the world? Is love experienced and expressed in the same way in Moscow or Paris? How does the Russian emotional regime work? How can it help us to understand the war in Ukraine?
