By TaiwanPlus

Russia's claim that it never had colonies is a misconception that ignores the voices of numerous peoples colonized by Russian governments throughout the centuries. As Russia continues its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the world’s largest country by area deserves a spot alongside the better-known colonizers in the West. In this episode, we learn about Russian colonialism and why it has been mostly overlooked. We are joined by Ukrainian journalist and author of “Russian Colonialism 101” Maksym Eristavi, and Slavic studies graduate and organizer of “Taiwan Stands With Ukraine” Aurora Chang. #StayConnected for more episodes on the often ignored histories of oppression and subjugation.
