  • The point here is that today, not in the fantasy future where russia is free and liberal and respects human rights, russian perspectives can be damaging in the fact that they are diluting and drowning out the real voices of a peoples resisting occupation and battling genocide. Just like there was a distaste for all things German in the forties, fifties, and even later, it will take decades and generations for Ukrainians to digest the trauma of this war and ultimately decades of not centuries of repressions. The world outside of Ukraine and russia need to be able to see this perspective. Especially since the russian empire has spent tremendous resources promoting their “culture” abroad, while burning Ukrainian books since the time of Catherine I.

    Once the war is won, then we can start having discussions about who was and wasn’t complicit, as this war is also being fought in the information space. Russian culture has always been intertwined with propaganda.
