Speaker Maryna Karlevits(foreign policy advisor to Ukraine’s MP Oleksii Goncharenko, head of Caucasus Institute (Ukraine), political scientist, interpreter) main points for 8th Free Nations of PostRussia Forum London & Paris 12-14 October 2023:
- Decolonisation of Russia as a key to Ukraine’s victory in the war. Expert and think tank contribution to the process.
- Caucasus Institute is the first think tank in Ukraine that focuses on the decolonisation of Russia as one of the keys to Ukraine’s war.
- For a long time, the topic of North Caucasus was full of stereotypes and propaganda because of Russia’s influence. Today we are aiming at working on debunking those myths and bringing the truth.
- As Ukrainians, we truly value justice and we believe that everyone deserves to get it. That is why, one of the key ideas of the Caucasus Institute is to collect the information about those who are responsible for the crimes against Caucasian and Ukrainian people and store it with an open access to the researchers, governments and international courts.
