For decades, if not centuries, Russia has painted itself as anti-colonial. But it forgets it’s a colonial empire itself. @yermolenko_v points out how “behind the romanticism of the early 19th century, there is something else: the cold grip of an empire.”

“There were once ‘grand narratives’ that explained everything from the behavior of states to literature. The collapse of connected storylines calls for new thinking on what binds us,” read this award-winning essay by one of our speakers @peterpomeranzev https://t.co/HKh4KMSdcU

[ZEG Storytelling Festival @zegfest]

Big tech platforms significantly influence how narratives are shaped, which is especially crucial when a war is waged in your country.
