The absolute zero support for Palestinians shown by post-socialist countries really betray their entire made-up narrative of socialist ‘occupation’ and ‘colonization’ and instead display their reactionary post-socialist world they’ve created which are just aspirational Israel.
How can a field of Eastern European studies decolonize without supporting the liberation of Palestinian people, who’ve been actively dispossessed and harmed in large part as a consequence of Euro-American - including Eastern European! - genocidal antisemitism. Come on y’all 😞
This semester, two colleagues and I designed a class called "Ukraine and Decolonial Thought" (description below) for @BardCollege A number of conversations at #ASEEES23 reminded me that I had promised to share it on here, so here it is: docs.google.com/document/d/1IL…
✨Here’s some news: a number of us scholars got together and founded a much needed initiative in the sphere of empowering knowledge production: the RUTA Association for Central, South, Eastern Europe, Baltic, Caucasus, Central and Northern Asia Studies in Global Conversation ✨

people asked me for the dystopic letter i read yesterday at #ASEEES23 Presidential Plenary: Decolonizing in Practice, so sharing it here: "DO NOT DESPAIR: a letter to a scholar whose homeland will be attacked by Russia next" daryatsymbalyuk.com/DO-NOT-DESPAIR
very happy to share this short reflection piece on postcolonial nationalism and the global right. it builds on and synergizes previous work and hopefully offers some pointers for thinking about the use & abuse of the anti-colonial in reactionary politics, sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Rupture and upheaval in academia are damaging the ability of today’s Russia experts to make sense of the country’s unraveling. buff.ly/43iOnI4
There cannot be decolonization of Russia without engagement with the experiences of others across the world who have also gone through those struggles, and continue to do so. There need to be conversations, learning and listening.
1/ We are currently experiencing a decolonization moment in East European and Eurasian Studies that is becoming a new paradigm in the field. Over the last few months, I have attended several conferences in the area, and here are some of the observations and reflections. 🧵
All comforting stories about how Russians did not colonize Africa stop short of telling that they actually shed their blood trying. This is a long 🧵 about how French bombs on the Red Sea coast smashed the tsarist colonial dream of Africa to pieces. 1/
A short🧵to highlight that post-Soviet space should be studied not just through the Russian language. I know many researchers now learn other languages but hope after the war, it will be more than just "local languages". Here's a short playlist for inspiration:
“If half the country is dreaming of Stalin, he will return, believe me.” (Svetlana Alexievich, Second Hand Time).
Jaunajā IR — Cik daudz Latvijā ir putinistu, kas ar ziediem sagaidītu okupantu tankus? IR ielūkojas plašākajā pētījumā kopš kara sākuma, kas preperē Latvijas krievu uzskatus par ģeopolitisko ainu, Putinu un gatavību aizstāvēt Latvijas valsti. ir.lv/zurnaals/636/
So tired on so many levels from current debates in my field. Recently it sounds as if there has not been any attempt on "decolonizing" Russian/Soviet history. Those who advance that claim right now seem to fall in two categories broadly. 1) Those who indeed never bothered

The pre-print version of our article is now out! "Relational Area Studies: Russia and Geographies of Knowledge" is a reflexive project that examines not only external spaces but also internal processes of knowledge production. @AmmonCheskin thanks for this travel!
Delighted to announce our new article (open access) with @alina_jasina Relational Area Studies: Russia and Geographies of Knowledge. Below are some of the main points so you don't even have to read it🤪(long 🧵warning) 1/ rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
In other words, Relational Area Studies should seek to critique places "out there", especially when they have highly imperial practices like Russia. At the same time, we need to be constantly self-critical of our own biases. 7/
when foreigners casually drop ‘bombing of kyiv’ these pics always come to mind. this is what #RussianColonialism did to chechnya and grozny when they tried to leave the empire in 2000. a war crime of horrific scale, but the rest of the world was like ‘meh’, so moscow continued
