as someone who is forever robbed by russian colonialism of my own family history, it is honor to amplify other indigenous stories

i might never know why half of my family looked asian but had georgian surname and the other part got missing in russian concentration camps - their voices are erased forever. but i can help to preserve and amplify indigenous stories that survived despite #RussianColonialism

join me on this mission:
russiancolonialism.info

i apologize in advance for any simplifications or mistakes i might make amplifying these indigenous stories — i am not a historian, but a journalist with a passion to this topic. i humbly accept any criticism and suggestions from the people to whom these stories actually belong
