More on Russian colonialism you can read on Feminist translocalities - a zine made by my colleagues, who are also from this empire, some from countries that used to belong to the soviet empire, which was bigger, and who belong to oppressed minorities. It is important to speak more about Russian colonialism, as by decolonial activists this topic is often just skipped, sometimes because they simply lack knowledge and sometimes because they also become victims of Russian propaganda - this empire is trying to whitewash itself and even use decolonial rhetorics to its advantage. It pretends to be a decoloniser only because it fights the West, but here is a logical flaw - yes, the West is colonial and responsible for a lot of crimes against Indigenous folks, and not only in the past but still, and yet it doesn't mean that everyone who is fighting it is a decolonialist automatically.
