This episode explores the concept of "Russophobia" and how it is used to silence criticism and maintain control. Painting the victims as Russophobic has always been part of the crime, as vividly illustrated by Professor Timothy Snyder’s 2023 testimony to the United Nations Security Council. Snyder, a leading historian on Eastern Europe, sheds light on the intersection of Russian genocidal rhetoric and claims of Russophobia.
Featuring Diana T. Kudaibergen, a prominent Qazaq researcher of colonialism and a sociologist at the University of Cambridge, who tackles the commemoration of the genocide in Qazaqstan and underscores the need to elevate indigenous voices in these discussions, and Viktoriia Grivina, a Ukrainian writer and a cultural researcher from Kharkiv, who exposes Russia’s colonial rhetoric, with her home city being the victim of it.
