What does it actually mean to decolonize Russia – and why does the idea terrify Moscow so much?

In this interview with University of Warsaw professor Iwona Kaliszewska, Jonasz Rewiński explains decolonization not as collapse or chaos, but as an end to imperial thinking. From Russia’s republics to its war in Ukraine, the same colonial logic keeps repeating itself.

This episode looks at why ignoring that reality won’t bring democracy – it only preserves the system that made the war possible.
