The guest of the seventh episode of Decolonisation is Taras Kuzio, a renowned British-Canadian political scientist, analyst, and expert on Ukraine. In this episode, Dr Kuzio joins Anastasiia Marushevska, editor-in-chief of Ukraїner International and co-founder of PR Army, to discuss the challenges of decolonising perceptions of Ukraine in Western academia, particularly in light of the dominance of Russianists in post-Soviet studies.

Dr Kuzio explores why Ukraine remained a blind spot in international academia until the full-scale invasion, why the traditional concept of the “post-Soviet” space is outdated, and how academic biases continue to influence Western policy-making on Ukraine.Ukraїner International is a non-profit media that works globally to promote democratic values.
