"#RussianColonialism 101" book is almost done. We need a bit of your help to cross the finish line.
i am blown away by the passion of your solidarity. but i am honestly all in tears too reading your empowering and kind messages of solidarity attached to these donations.

i have the best community of followers.
in less than two days together we've raised almost 70% of the needed funds. less than EUR 2500 is lacking to close the gap

you all together are superhumans. so grateful.

art is the best shortcut for understanding russian colonial nature. would you like me to share some cool Ukrainian movies with English subtitles that will enlighten you about colonialism? you’re in luck

my absolute fav is Chornobyl 22 by Oleksiy Radynskyi, the brightest anti-colonial thinker in Ukraine. this doc is about russian failed occupation of a Ukrainian nuclear station in 2022. eco-terrorism has always been a fixture of russian colonial behavior

Eurodonbas by Kornii Hrytsiuk is a Ukrainian blockbuster of wartime docs, demolishing one of russia’s central imperial myths - that they ‘built’ eastern Ukraine. most of the featured cities don’t exist anymore, they were erased by russia

together with thousands of other Ukrainian Roma, Oleksiy Tyrpak heroically fought to defend his home and Europe from fascism. young, brave and fearless, russian murderers stole his from us, too. he would turn 25 earlier this month Image
earlier into the full-scale invasion, Oleksiy got seriously injured defending Ukraine and could retire from the army. despite persuasions from the family, he decided to return to the frontline after the recovery: “I simply can’t leave my battalion behind,” he told his loved ones
“he would never leave anyone behind”
entire Oleksiy’s village Tur’ya Pasika in Zakarpattia oblast showed up to mourn him. kindness and Ukrainianness of this hero transcended ethnicity, skin color or social status. russia has no right to exist

this Ukrainian woman risked everything to walk out of russian occupation in southern Ukraine — russians often execute running refugees. the moment when she shows her Ukrainian passport indicating she just wants to get home broke my heart in million pieces
@vgorunews
Ukrainian soldiers also risked everything to evacuate her from a destroyed bridge at the frontline. your daily reminder that Ukraine stands for kindness and never leaves anyone behind
full story in Ukrainian by Kherson news outlet @vgorunews is here

today we mark the Roma Resistance Day. the history of Ukrainian Roma fighting back against the colonial invaders, whether in 1945 or 2024, is integral to this story. however, it is also one of the least known. Image
my latest essay for russian colonialism 101. the newsletter Image
The Ukrainian resistance against fascism and colonialism, both its Western and russian forms, dates back generations. Romani-Ukrainians are integral part of this history Image

Misha Biketov was a young artist writing electronic music for my favorite Ukrainian label @dnipropop. then russia came to his home and instead of art, he had to defend his family from genocide. Misha became a great drone operator instead. but russians still took him away from us Image
Misha was just 24.

His label and frontline unit are fundraising to support his family in these trying times.

blood-chilling account of russia-facilitated famine in Ukraine in 1921-1923. moscow starved up to 2.5 million Ukrainians or approximately 7-8% of the nation — it still remains largely unknown and poorly-studied chapters of #RussianColonialism Image
"There were many cases of suicide. Mothers threw their children into wells and rivers, killing themselves afterward. Hunger tormenting people so much that they became crazed." Image
the 1921 famine in the Soviet Union started as a weather- and war-provoked crisis. but while russia mobilized unprecedented international aid for regions closer to Moscow, the same catastrophe in newly recolonized Ukraine and Crimea-Qirim was kept as a secret and ignored Image
