In this session, participants will explore both mainstream and lesser-known Russian narratives circulating in Europe - particularly those aimed at left-leaning, critically minded, and academically engaged audiences. Working in small groups, participants will read and analyze articles that deconstruct these narratives, tracing their origins and political impact. The session will conclude with a collective discussion of insights and reflections.

Resistance Connections UA is a Berlin-based activist group committed to material and political solidarity with anti-authoritarian, feminist, and left-wing forces in Ukraine and beyond. Formed in response to the normalization of Ukrainian erasure within the German left, we work to confront russian imperialism as an ongoing colonial formation - and to resist the geopolitical distortions that flatten struggles for liberation into competing state allegiances. As co-organizers of the anti-imperialist tent, we aim to hold space for situated, plural, and non-campist solidarities - politicizing what has been silenced, and refusing empire in all its forms.
