So fortunate that these amazing women have joined the INDEX: Institute for Documentation and Exchange team 💜💚💜💚💜
‘Cultural imperialism lives on, even if its carriers often proclaim anti-colonial slogans.’ My new piece for Atlantic Council with some suggestions to editors, publishers, and curators from us, the 'perpetually frustrated Ukraine specialists'. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea… 🧵 1/4
Ukraine is still viewed through the lens of Russian imperialism. Western editors, commentators, and academics must go beyond token coverage and let Ukraine’s experience shape a broader global narrative. Read Olesya Khromeychuk’s new text for Atlantic Council. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…
My deepest sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of David Knowles. David always texted me after massive attacks. I hope I thanked him most of the time. My last message remained unread. His work gave us in Ukraine so much hope and strength. We will remember him, always. 💔

To lead the INDEX: Institute for Documentation and Exchange team, and to achieve its goals, including holding ru accountable by documenting what it does to Ukraine, it takes great competence, a determination of steel & also a big heart. Director Dr Sasha Dovzhyk has it all 💜
'It is not enough to simply “do Ukraine” by reviewing one book on the war, especially if it’s by a Western journalist rather than a Ukraine-based author. [...] This box-ticking approach is unhelpful and insulting'. Olesya Khromeychuk on what the 'frustrated Ukrainians' want.
