Sahar Homami in Frequencies of Displacement by Tehran Contemporary Sounds

Tereza Hendl @terezahendl.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I’m reading this book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is deeply disappointed with much of the international (campist) left and could do with some inspiring thought. Crucially, it’s a cathartic read that speaks to one’s sense of alienation, which can—at least to some extent—be rather healing

Russia’s ultimate goal has been kholodomor: freezing Ukrainians to death or into submission. And time is still being wasted with gaslighting that acts as if defence against systematic efforts at destruction weren’t fundamental to protecting Ukrainian lives during an invasion.

Tereza Hendl @terezahendl.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

It’s rather crucial to take a closer look at how Ukrainians are being spoken about—and not with—in these “debates.” The very notion of Ukrainians as exploited people without agency is made possible by their exclusion, which reduces them to objects of discussion to be spoken for.

RUTA grew out of academic solidarity networks that emerged as a response to the shock of Feb. 24, 2022. Each year, it holds an international conference in Ukraine, centring Central, South-Eastern, and Eastern European, Baltic, Caucasus, Central and Northern Asian Studies in Global Conversation.

The theme of our next RUTA conference is freedom—what it is and what it isn’t. Who are the theorists, dissidents, and artists from the RUTA regions of Europe's East, Baltic, Caucasus, Central & Northern Asia—and globally—whose work we build on when we think about what freedom and oppression entail?

The Russian occupying forces have destroyed over 10 million Ukrainian books this summer and are now continuing their systemic attacks on Ukrainian research institutions and the people within them. These are the people who carry generations of knowledge about Ukrainian existence, culture, language…

Brazen. And the response to this further reveals the double standards: Russia has been attacking Ukraine with drones for 5+yrs, and now flies them into Poland, Romania, Moldova, the Baltic states… Where’s the outrage? Where are the Western intelligence services warning the Russian regime about that?

Tereza Hendl @terezahendl.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Russia is a fascist dictatorship that cannot exist without war—one of the core facts that people in the trenches know. And when one gets to sit in bomb shelters in Ukraine, they can also gain a very clear understanding of the intentionality of Russian imperialism. Still the issue remains that those…

That’s rather appalling for someone who works on ethnic cleansing, genocide, and international law to advocate leaving people defenceless.

Tereza Hendl @terezahendl.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

This continuous avoidance “strategy” is so self-defeating and irresponsible. More energy has been put into gaslighting and stigmatizing East Europeans than into listening to what people with generations of experience of Russian imperialism—and close proximity to its armies—know and warn us about.

Tereza Hendl @terezahendl.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Russia has manufactured yet another famine on the European continent, and the continent is merely watching Ukrainians die of starvation—yet again. Absolute abdication of intervening in genocide, let alone preventing it. Where is any action beyond empty words of “concern”?

This is a far‑right leader who campaigns to euthanize Ukraine and to resume trading with Russia for resources extracted from occupied lands. Her grandfather would certainly be proud. The question is what those Germans who want to see themselves as not Nazi will do about any of this in practice

Tereza Hendl @terezahendl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Alice Weidel’s connection to Nazism isn’t hidden in her grandfather’s crimes in German-occupied Poland; it is explicit right here, right now. In her politics toward Eastern Europe, that is brazenly colonial and extractivist and follows in the footsteps of the AfD’s Nazi predecessors

Tereza Hendl @terezahendl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Russia is constantly escalating. This is a busy train route between Warsaw and Kyiv. The attack came near the Polish border, reportedly right after former British PM Boris Johnson and a diplomatic delegation passed through this crossing. Just shows how interested the Russian regime is in “peace.”

That shame is the same thing that prevents many white Germans from warning non-white people in Germany to take action to protect themselves. It is a subtle thing - it manifests as "surely it's not that bad", "they're just a few bad apples, they're just idiots", etc. But it causes crucial delay.

Lots of far-right complaints about foreign doctors, nurses, carers in Germany. We know the sectors stand on exploitable migrant labour — and how carer communities are treated is an indicator of how far Germany moved in its historical legacy “Grandma’s new Polish woman”, a live-in care ad from 2020

I’ve said this too many times before, but the revival of the German far right is a logical outcome in a society that has been so committed to the denial of the mere existence of structural racism in Germany and to the pretense that the racist and imperial approach to Germany’s Others ended with WWII

Specifically someone with a strong stomach, who is qualified to examine the ongoing legacy of Aryan racism toward East Europeans and the power abuses of the German occupation of Ukraine —with its resource extractivism, forced labour, and wide-scale genocidal violence, including a manufactured famine

Words. And the eagerness we’ve seen—especially in Germany over the past 4+ yrs—to fixate on the far right in Ukraine, where it never even entered parliament, while Germany’s far right was entering state governments and steadily accelerating, was a graphic display of exceptionalist German supremacism

No country for the future: the age breakdown of the Saxony vote. Similar patterns can be observed in federal polls. The oldest voter cohort is the least eager to vote for the notably euphemistically named “Alternative for Germany,” but even among this group, support for the far right remains high.
