Russian colonialism in action right now in 2022 in occupied #Ukraine. Yes, it's happening right now. Russian colonialism is not just a thing of the past. Today, Russia is engaging in colonial practices in occupied Ukraine. Here's what's been happening👇
These not just random things that have been happening. These are coordinated practices that Russia has been using to acquire full political & economic control by occuping & then exploiting Ukraine. They are imposing their language, economics and other cultural practices.
1) Russia is forcibly deporting Ukrainians to Russia. theguardian.com/world/2022/apr…
2) Russia is putting Ukrainian children up for illegal adoptions by Russians. forbes.com/sites/ewelinao…
3) Russia is introducing Russian currency. reuters.com/world/europe/r…
4) Russia is preparing to conduct sham referendums. abcnews.go.com/International/…
5) Russia is setting up prison camps and detention centers.
6) Russia is abducting journalists and other dissenting voices. theguardian.com/world/2022/apr…
7) Russia is stealing economic resources from Ukraine.
Of course colonisation is an intersectional issue and impacts people in different ways. But this is how Russians are doing it to Ukrainians in 2022.

Right now is a gr8 time to remind everyone of advice @snazzyazzy wrote & issue @seyiakiwowo has been working on: violence & abuse against women online. Many Ukrainian women have gone viral in last month, but vitriol has been just as viral. Here's what one can do to stay safe👇
1. Identify abuse: Online violence and abuse has become a far too common experience. And women suffer most. Our online poll found that 23 per cent of women across eight countries had experienced online abuse or harassment on social media platforms.
This abuse takes many forms - threats of violence, discrimination, harassment, doxxing (revealing personal or identifying documents) & sharing sexual & private images without consent. Can also include content that is sexist, racist, homophobic or targets someone’s identity.

Why is Putin making such risky choices in Ukraine even though it’s bringing him seemingly very little utility maximization? We can say he’s lost it & is pure evil, but I’m going to turn to Prospect Theory—theory of behavioral economics by Kahneman—to try to make it make sense 🧵
From annexing Crimea, to invading Donbass & now this in Ukraine, Putin has chosen to pursue risk-acceptant choices even though none of it has led to any expected utility maximization - massive army losses, internal rising dissent, harsh economic sanctions, country’s isolation.
And what’s important - post-Soviet states, with the exception of a few, have turned extremely hostile to Russia. So hostile that things will never go back to how they ever were.
