The best podcast I’ve heard that discusses colonialism in nuanced ways that North American often don’t know about or purposefully ignore. This is must-listen material for anyone in the west who claims to be anti-imperial.
Full of detail and explanation of the Russia’s hidden long history of colonialism. Well worth your time, especially if you want to better understand why Ukrainians are fighting and why #TheEmpire MustFall
Always useful to listen to Maksym Eristavi talk about imperialism, how it shows itself and its effects, and even more so with the expert guests he's invited onto this podcast.
Critically important podcast about mostly unknown mass crimes committed by Russia on neighbouring nations, be it based on race, culture, language or just their liberty, always perceived as a threat by the aggressor.
