how many more genocide frontlines moscow has to open before the rest of the world finally breaks the neck of this fascist death cult with full-scale sanctions and unrestricted arms supply for Ukraine?
this is not the first r*ssian assault on Moldovan democracy either. previous ones followed the identical formula.
partitioned, disarmed and decolonized r*ssia is the only peace plan that will work
since 1992 r*ssia has been occupying 10% of Moldova's territory. the rest of the world was like 'meh' so moscow kept trying to expand the colonial occupation since then #RussianColonialism
дякую for every of those tens of thousands “how are you?” messages in the last year. even if oftentimes i didn’t know what to answer. i’ve never felt so much love, care and solidarity from others in my entire life
дякую for those random hugs and embraces and silent eye contacts full of warmth — sometimes from total strangers. i never knew this can make such a life-saving difference.
дякую for amplifying, donating, volunteering and sometimes putting your own life on the line for Ukrainians and Ukraine. we are honored and blessed to find so many passionate allies and new friends at our darkest hour
r*ssian “opposition”: if the west doesn’t give us money and backing, expect things much worse than genocide in Ukraine
how exactly this is different from putin? rhetorical question, really.
the only effective opposition to putin is Ukraine’s armed forces
this kind of rhetoric surprises no one in the societies affected by long history of #RussianColonialism. it is the best illustration to what we mean when we say this is not putin’s war, but it is r*ssia’s war
beyond proud to co-author this badass piece of art resistance that will help us to fundraise for Ukrainian queer communities fighting and resisting r*ssisan genocidal fascism. extra honor that my essay opens the book
Слава Україні

while some westerners proudly announce that in 2023 they finally start seeing centuries-old patterns of #RussianColonialism, let me share a 2003 essay by Ukrainian historian @globalrhizome where he told you everything to know about r*ssia, Ukraine, colonialism but few listened
yes, it was in English. yes, it was published by a respected Western academic journal. i bet if 30 pages of 'Postcolonialism, Russia and Ukraine' became a classic of eastern european and r*ssian studies, this genocide wouldn't be happening jstor.org/stable/25748122
on r*ssian 'imperial innocence': 'in present-day Russia postcolonialism is perhaps the only major contemporary theoretical discourse that largely continues to be proudly and persistently ignored (old imperial habits die hard)"
the fact that some westerners have zero problem with hardcore neo-nazi roots of r*ssia’s opposition leader and fashy vibe of russian national identity but instead get obsessed with some marginal far-right freaks in Ukraine nobody really knows is classic western colonial gaze
Ukrainians always are expected to fit the impossible standard: our society cannot have far-rights, crooks, murderers, and just mean people — even though every other has. Even as we are being murdered in genocide
r*ssian literal war criminals get fancy book deals and politicians who called for extermination of ethnic minorities end up being gloried heroes, but reputation of every Ukrainian in public eye gets policed to the level of insane absurdity. this is so f*cking exhausting
