"Circassian culture was often exoticised within Russia ... we carried a kind of internalised self-doubt, shaped by Soviet and post-Soviet attitudes that framed local culture as backward"
A story true of every local culture and independent nation that Moscow tried to colonise

In Search Of Holy Mother Russia by Ludo Van Eck
The chief purpose of this book is to give the uninformed Western reader a clear idea of everyday life in the USSR and of the Russian Orthodox Church, yet it also touches on a number of other related subjects, such as the history of the Church in Russia and the things in which it differs from other Christian creeds, the church architecture, the celibacy of priests, the veneration of saints, icons, church art, the clergy, divine services, the dogmas of the Church, fasts and feasts, the Sacraments, the attitude of the Russian Orthodox Church towards the issue of peace on Earth, and towards other religions.
You can get the book here and here.

Apartment concerts — kvartyrnyks — in Ukraine are nothing new. They took place throughout the Soviet years, where Ukrainians could read poetry, sing songs, and freely discuss the government. Veronika Romanova and Mariana Lastovyria write for @timkmak’s Counteroffensive about what it’s like to attend the 2025 version. “The existence of kvartyrnyks demonstrates how Ukrainian culture persists despite constant adversity – whether under authoritarianism or in the face of open war against it,” they write.

Russian bombs have destroyed many of Ukraine’s cities and in doing so, flattened Soviet-era buildings. @timkmak, Mariana Lastovyria and Artem Moskalenko write for The Counteroffensive about whether that might one day create opportunities for a new kind of city planning and building that’s more resilient and better for individuals and communities.
