today Ukraine honors the memory of WW2 victims - in the war that Germany and russia started driven by the colonial hunger to divide Europe among the two empires.

they murdered up to 10 million Ukrainians resisting brown and red fascisms
these are the pictures of a shared military parade by Nazis and russians in 1939 celebrating the invasion of Poland. Moscow spent decades trying to erase the fact it helped to start the worst mass slaughter in human history
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German–So… ImageImage
despite starting WW2, russia faced zero consequences. not only justice wasn't served, but moscow used the war as an opportunity to expand colonial occupation of Europe and slaughter millions of people who resisted the russian colonizer.

here are just some examples:
re-colonization of Ukraine
genocide and colonization of Poland
partial occupation of Finland
the colonization and ethnic cleansing of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
occupation of Romania
re-colonization of Moldova
occupation of Bulgaria
coup in Czechoslovakia
occupation and mass slaughter in Hungary
genocide of the Karachays
genocide of the Meskhetian Turks
genocide of the Crimean Tatars
genocide of the Izhorians
genocide of indigenous nations of the Northern Caucasus
re-colonization of Belarus
genocide of the Kalmyks
today russia keeps committing atrocious genocidal crimes in my Ukraine and Syria, following the same terrorist textbook it used for generations: gaslight, invade, exterminate.

it all happens because the empire is allowed to rein in total impunity
but for the first time in centuries, we are having a fighting chance to end the empire and force it to pay for all these countless horrific crimes.

support Ukraine and Ukraine's armed forces.

justice will be served.

the empire will fall.
this is just one chapter in the long history of #RussianColonialism. learn more, spread the word

#RussianColonialism perfected genocide and ethnic cleansing even before the terms were invented.

anyone interested should learn about the 1708 russian invasion of Baturyn, the capital of Ukraine's first democratic proto-republic
after Ukraine's tried and failed to break free from #RussianColonialism by siding with Sweden in the Great Northern War, moscow decided to punish Ukrainians with a carefully orchestrated Baturyn massacre — one of the most horrific mass slaughters in Europe's history
by 1708 Baturyn was a thriving Ukrainian capital, a cultural, intellectual, and political center with a population of up to 15,000 — making it even slightly bigger than Kyiv at the time. genocidal #RussianColonialism is the reason why you probably never heard about the city Image

for centuries russians did not shy away from calling themselves colonizers and a colonial empire. #RussianColonialism civilizing mission became an official ideology already in 18th century Image
by 19th century russia has been actively appropriating western colonial lingo and describing the vast portfolio of stolen lands as “colonies” Image
russian government offices were stacked with western journals about colonialism and history books about western colonies. there was even a semi-official government periodical about colonization Image

strong decolonization vibe in my homecity Zaporizhzhia.

main WW2 memorial changes the engraving: “1941-1945” symbolizing russian colonial war cult is replaced with “1939. to the memory of Ukraine defenders”
@suspilne_news Image
during ww2 up to 10 million Ukrainians were murdered fighting off red and brown fascisms. the largest and the most horrific price paid by any other nation in that catastrophic war. for decades russians have been appropriating and desecrating that sacrifice.

no more.

looking for 'good r*ssians' is the opposite direction from ending the genocide and delivering historical justice.

despite being recorded almost a year ago, this @ukrainianspaces episode with @nata_druhak aged like a fine wine. now remastered.

for a year we’ve been approaching foreign publishers with “r*ssian colonialism 101” but after non-stop ghosting decided to publish locally, crowdfunded. i’m sorry i’m not a r*ssian war criminal or white western “expert” to get a global book deal on the spot
but no complaints. i get to work with a kickass Ukrainian publisher - the best kind of publisher by any international standards. and our work is not a result of some western establishment gatekeeping but public-supported and funded by passionate allies
🥰🥰🥰
most of my life i got used to hearing no’s from elites and gatekeepers. elitist “no” is just an extra motivation for me. where some see a rejection, i see a reason to make it happen against the odds.

i am just Ukrainian this way.

бо твоя голова не тут, не тепер.
практично несвідома
а я фізично вдома.
а я думками вдома.
періодично гортаю книжки.
шукаю невідоме.
