This text is now out, in which I reflect on @CreativeCorazon’s Kazakh Spring alongside the Prague Spring and the Arab Spring. Diana's book gives a powerful account of the often nonlinear & multi-generational struggle to take down dictatorship. Do read it. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Feels like a strangely apt day to be doing the final final proofs on this text, reflecting on Diana Kudaibergen’s powerful book on the often nonlinear, long, back-and-forth, multigenerational struggle to take down dictatorship. Soon out in Central Asian Survey. Do read the book.
Tereza Hendl@TerezaHendl2 Apr 2025
Sitting down with @CreativeCorazon’s book and putting the finishing touches to a text that reflects on some of the lessons from a sequence of major protest Springs: Prague Spring, Arab Spring and Qazaq Spring and the mass uprisings and challenges to dictatorship they involved

I posted about Stalin’s deportations of over 20 ethnic groups in the Soviet Union. The replies were baffling. Some Russians called it fiction. Others said Volga Germans deserved to die because they started the war. 🤔Others claimed Stalin must have done it to protect people.

A much needed book, looking forward to reading: “Decolonial discussions are gaining traction, challenging political elites' hegemony over national identity formation. Such changes harbour the potential to profoundly alter Russia's influence in the areas it once controlled”

Amazing work @LadanRahbari & @OBurlyuk - another crucial volume, and so many perspectives! Glad to have been invited to share what it’s been like as an ‘East European scholar’ in various corners of Western academia, esp in an increasingly far-right Germany openbookpublishers.com/books…

Magda’s my close friend. We studied, thought and wrote together. Years ago, I took part in the Zajel Youth Program in the West Bank. Now she is part of a flotilla bringing health supplies to Palestinians in besieged Gaza. She was abducted at sea. Free Magda, and free Palestinians
