It’s been 5 years since I started writing this blog. My blog is primarily about things that happen in society and certain historical events. These historical events are first and foremost ones that many people may have heard of, but don’t know much about.

5 Dramatic years

These have been 5 dramatic years. 5 years that the world will never forget. We had the Covid pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the war in Gaza. The war in Ukraine, in particular, has been covered extensively in my blog. I have always had a close relationship with Ukraine. When the Maidan uprising took place in the winter of 2013-14, I wrote about this in a blog I ran at the time. Blog the Ukrainablogg.

When Russia attacked Ukraine, I wrote a lot about the war in my blog. In the summer of 2022, I realized that parts of the blog needed to be translated into Russian and English to reach more people. I was given tools to install translations. In April 2024, I expanded the translations to include Ukrainian. I use WPML as a tool for translations. This is an automatic translator as I use it. Now I have made an agreement that the pages in Ukrainian will be translated manually by Sofia from Odesa. This makes the translation more accurate. Sofia will also write her own blog about daily life in the war-torn country.

Most read

The part of the blog that is most read is the historical blogs or those that are timeless. An example of a timeless blog that is widely read is the blog about the nuns from St. Elisabeth in Minsk spreading Russian propaganda. This is one of the most read pages in English. A historical blog that is very widely read is the blog about why Norway celebrates 17 May. The idea behind this blog was actually to give the Ukrainian refugees in Norway some knowledge of this. This is the most read blog in both Russian and Ukrainian. I hit the mark with this blog and met the people I wanted to.

Some pages are not translated into languages other than Norwegian. These primarily concern conditions in Norway.

The number of page views varies slightly, but there are generally between 120 and 200 people who visit the site and read every day.
