    #7 Taras Kuzio on decolonising perceptions of Ukraine in academia

    The guest of the seventh episode of Decolonisation is Taras Kuzio, a renowned British-Canadian political scientist, analyst, and expert on Ukraine. In this episode, Dr Kuzio joins Anastasiia Marushevska, editor-in-chief of Ukraїner International and co-founder of PR Army, to discuss the challenges of decolonising perceptions of Ukraine in Western academia, particularly in light of the dominance of Russianists in post-Soviet studies. Dr Kuzio explores why Ukraine remained a blind spot in international academia until the full-scale invasion, why the traditional concept of the “post-Soviet” space is outdated, and how academic biases continue to influence Western policy-making on Ukraine.Ukraїner International is a non-profit media that works globally to promote democratic values.

    #2 Historical context of Russia’s war against Ukraine with Jade McGlynn

    The guest of the second episode of the Decolonisation series is Jade McGlynn, a leading British expert on Russia, memory politics, history and identity construction. She is a researcher in the War Studies department at King’s College London and the author of “Russia’s War” and “Memory Makers: The Politics of the Past in Putin's Russia”.

This episode delves into why Vladimir Putin’s historical distortions echo Soviet methods, how this rhetoric is exploited to justify the war crimes committed in Ukraine, and why Milan Kundera’s thesis about the kidnapped West remains unresolved. Anastasiia and Jade also examine how the Russian colonial narratives have come to dominate Western academia, unravel the myth of the great Russian culture, and discuss why Russia’s decolonisation is unattainable without further decolonising Europe.
