Discussion with Tamara Hundorova and Alex Averbuch
Moderator: Franziska Davies

The Russian Empire left its mark not only on history, but also on language, literature, cultural hierarchies and the ways in which we see the world. How can we recognise this imperial perspective – and what does it mean to move beyond it? The discussion explores the decolonisation of culture, the reassessment of Russia’s imperial legacy, and the possibility of rethinking Eastern Europe beyond the coordinates imposed by the imperial centre.
