2016. we cried our souls out warning you. you gave us your prizes and moved on with your lives
when strangers are coming
they come to your house
they kill you all
and say
we’re not guilty
not guilty
where is your mind?
humanity cries
you think you are gods
but everyone dies
don't swallow my soul
our souls
we could build a future
where people are free
to live and love
the happiest time

where is your heart?
humanity rise
you think you are gods
but everyone dies
don't swallow my soul
our souls

jamala. “1944”

as georgian-ukrainian, i'm forever in debt to georgia. they were among the first to send volunteers to fight for our shared european freedom, liberty & independence. we didn't have to ask. we never do.

learn the names of georgian heroes who sacrificed their lives for free europe
davit ratiani,
lost his homeland abkhazia to russian occupation. died in the battle for irpin helping a french soldier with an injured leg to reach the assembly point. a russian mine blast killed dato on the spot
герої не вмирають

extremely alienating experience traveling to western european capitals these days. genocide in the middle of europe is often no more than disturbing headlines you can tune out if needed and keep living the same life: work, cafes, clubs, birthdays. but i‘ve seen before. in moscow
the day after putin murdered nemtsov was my last time traveling to moscow. it is been already a year of russian invasion of ukraine, but i found the city 100% unbothered living its usual comfortable life. even anti-war russians were treating it as a small talk convo
one former moscow friend, acutely anti-putin, told me ‘let’s not spend whole day talking about news and politics’ as my people were mass-slaughtered in donbas. i was so disgusted. that trip i realized russia is so blind there’s no point engaging until moscow literally burns down

it takes eight years of being told this view is too marginal/controversial and a genocide to find myself opening a kickass #RussianColonialism event in company of brilliant ukrainian-only researchers and artists. one step closer to historical justice being served
how i started my viral twitter thread on #RussianColonialism invasions just three nights before the genocide and how it turned into anti-colonial cassandra’s cry since then
‘things like genocide in ukraine will keep happening. because we don’t address the issue at the core of russian history, culture and identity. because russians themselves refuse to address it’

“operating on the wounded in the basements while fighting rages on outside”

life of remaining doctors in sieged mariupol, quoted and translated from the message of local city council:

t.me/mariupolrada/8…
for 23 days mariupol remains under siege. for 23 days our city is purposefully destroyed by russian occupiers. thousands of civilians are killed, the number of wounded is at least 3 times higher. despite all of this our hospitals continue to fight for the lives of mariupol folks
the matsuka city hospital in the livoberezhnyi district is still functioning. continuous shelling forced doctors to move emergency surgeries to a basement. diesel generators provide some minimal lights. doctors drain remaining boilers in the building for last bits of water

appreciate @McFaul‘s solidarity with ukraine. but also would appreciate him to stop rebroadcasting russian colonial mythology. speaking russian in ukraine in 90% has no relation to russian ethnicity. on the opposite - it’s a byproduct of russian colonial erasure of ukrainian lang
i am actually a russian speaking ukrainian born and raised on the soil mentioned here. this is such a western gaze nonsense fed by russian colonial mythology and i‘d love for american media to give platform to ukrainians instead on anything related to our identity @MaddowBlog
i get why russians, both putinists and not, keep pushing this narrative — this is just a step away from denying the ongoing genocide of ukrainians and their collective responsibility for it, because ‘hey there’s no genocide possible since there are russian victims too’
