I really appreciate watching Adam Curtis' documentary Traumazone. So much strong material speaking for itself.
But there is one deeply disturbing thing, namely the subtitle: "Russia 1985–1999".
It's very misleading, because #Traumazone is only partly a story about Russia.
A large part of the time (maybe 1/3) is spent telling parallel post-war histories about Kazakstan, Ukraine, etc. Countries which are NOT parts of Russia.
In effect, the framing serves to normalize Russian colonialism. Even though much of the content works in the opposite direction.
A new article https://avtonom.org/blog/chem-ploh-telegram on why Telegram should be avoided by activists under authoritarian regimes and similar situations, as well as some mitigation measures for when it can't be avoided,
in Russian from Autonomous Action, an organization of anarchists and libertarian communists in Russia.
In particular if you know any dissidents, mobilization refuers, etc in Russia, please share this information with them.
Note that the link in the article to Partisan-Telegram Android is missing a colon so won't work clicking on.
It should have been:
