Post Soviet Legacies in the Global Context (Reading Group)
Monday, December 1, 2025 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm CET/GMT+1Online
The working group “Post-Soviet Legacies in the Global Context”, organized by the academic association FG Dekolonial, seeks to examine the extensive and often underexplored influences of the Soviet Union that extend far beyond the geographic boundaries of the former USSR.
Our first reading group session will happen in collaboration with the Invisible University for Ukraine, with guest speakers Tatsiana Shchurko and Łukasz Stanek. Tatsiana Shchurko is a researcher and queer feminist activist from Belarus. Her work is situated within anti-colonial feminist theorizing, focusing on multiple imperialisms within and between Europe, Eurasia, and the United States. Łukasz Stanek is a historian of 20th-century urbanism, focusing on connections between regions that have often been considered peripheral. He explores how associations between Eastern Europe, West Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia have shaped urban landscapes globally.
