As a Russian historian, I’ve been told to avoid being anti-Russian. How does this thought discipline the discipline? Oleksa Drachewych John Vsetecka Steven Seegel 🇺🇦 @stevenseegel.bsky.social Kimberly St. Julian-Varnon

Those interested in decolonizing the field should read the ASEEES presidential address and also an interesting essay from a grad student who went to Italy to research Gorky. Decentering Russian archives is part of this. Oleksa Drachewych Kimberly St. Julian-Varnon John Vsetecka Ab Imperio

Watching a great talk by John Vsetecka at HURI Harvard about the legacies of the Holodomor. He did archival research and found a trove of evidence from those who lived through it. Heartbreaking photos from a father who couldn’t get over son’s death. Olga Onuch (Онух) Maria Popova 🇨🇦

Looking forward to attending this. Great lineup of speakers.

This is a great opportunity to continue the discussion about decolonizing the field. Oleksa is a pleasure to work with. I’d encourage any scholars interested to take part. Dr. Ian Garner Kimberly St. Julian-Varnon
