The Stone of Sorrow, a memorial to victims of Soviet political repression, was dismantled at night under the official explanation that a former NKVD garage had to be protected —part of the infrastructure associated with the “black vans” of the Great Terror https://t.co/uFK1YkxinV
Overnight, the Stone of Sorrow was dismantled. I set out not only to understand what happened, but to document it. That is what I have done. https://t.co/ThTiHny2Sh
Я обратил внимание на то, что снос мемориала жертвам политических репрессий в Томске – 19 апреля – совпал с датой основания СМЕРШ. Возможно, это совпадение. Но, для таких совпадений существует вполне устойчивый термин — «чекистский юморок». Сигнал считан. https://t.co/1Z0qdrB1m5
The demolition of the Stone of Sorrow memorial in Tomsk marks another moment in the unfolding “memory wars” between Russia and Europe — where monuments reflect deeper struggles over history, identity, and legitimacy. https://t.co/tAjXC4nEFS
Думаю, что следующим закономерным шагом после сноса мемориального камня жертвам политических репрессий в Томске последует почти гарантированная попытка убрать Соловецкий камень с Лубянской площади в Москве. https://t.co/XXNaitKFwR
After the demolition of the memorial stone to the victims of political repression in Tomsk, the next logical step is an almost inevitable attempt to remove the Solovetsky Stone from Lubyanka Square in Moscow. https://t.co/SWvaDY4Gsj
In the center of Tomsk, a Siberian city with a long and layered history, a memorial to the victims of Soviet political repression has quietly disappeared. https://t.co/YiW1hbQvyR
I argue that the KARAGODIN® Investigation and STEPINQUEST® function as executable systems — operating within institutional, archival, and symbolic environments — and that publishing them on GitHub is not a metaphor, but a precise act of implementation. https://t.co/ekQ9vK6Jw5
Node Above the Archive — institutional positioning. As part of the ongoing development of Node Above the Archive, the project has been positioned within an international institutional context spanning art, technology, and critical research. https://t.co/EqkI778W3T
Node Above the Archive is a site-specific infrastructural intervention in which a functioning public mesh node is positioned above the Tomsk FSB archive in Western Siberia, Russia, turning signal, address, and network presence into a memorial form that cannot be removed or erased
A Position Is Established. Denis Karagodin’s STEPINQUEST® and the emergence of infrastructural investigation in closed systems. https://t.co/2LeybIujuy
A Node Is Placed at a Site of State Power. The KARAGODIN® Investigation establishes a mesh node in Tomsk — giving form to presence — https://t.co/bMUB3xt8gT (KGNg). https://t.co/cTFAh72lsI
The STEPINQUEST® Framework: A Global Language Intervention Now in Place. Established in its canonical English form and extended through localized editions across key global contexts, the method now operates across the environments where it is most needed. https://t.co/sIu6sABwi3
STEPINQUEST®: Quand les preuves cessent de produire des conséquences, l’enquête doit devenir processus. Une forme opératoire d’enquête qui transforme la preuve en processus — de manière à la rendre opérante. https://t.co/V6MIHZzfb5
STEPINQUEST® is now available in French. Its methodological framework and core principles — a narrative-based investigative approach — are now open to French-speaking audiences. https://t.co/umA7L7qKZq
