A crisis constitutes a catalyst for rethinking academic responsibilities in societies facing a major threat. When a crisis escalates, such rethinking moves to the centre of both academic and social discourses, resulting in scrutiny, as well as synergy of scholarship and citizenship. Delving into the existential threats faced by Ukrainian scholars during the genocidal campaign unleashed against their country by Russia in 2022, this paper re‐examines academic citizenship in times of war. The interviews analysed in this paper contribute to identifying synergies between scholarship and citizenship, and unpacking a collective agency shaped by crisis. Once peripheralized by neoliberal universities, academic citizenship is acquiring new meanings, while it reframes communal obligations and repositions professional duties in view of the life‐and‐death choices brought on by the war.

This study probes a format of reflexive scholarly dialogue (RSD) to enhance critical inquiry for exploration and validation of dilemmas of postcolonialism in the post-soviet environments where coloniality is debatable and politicized. In this article, the RSD is conducted by two professors, located in different countries and cultures (Ukraine and Georgia) but sharing similar postcolonial experiences. Anatoly Oleksiyenko and Giorgi Tavadze reflect on what it means to decolonize themselves and their scholarship from the imperial discourse propagated by the Kremlin. They try to understand what de-Sovietization contributes to thinking and communication inter-ethnically and internationally. Re-examining their own experiences, Oleksiyenko and Tavadze delve into several issues that are essential for advancing critical thinking and discourse in this area of research: that is, the problems of coping with Russian propaganda and anti-westernization; critical inquiry into the purposes of de-Sovietization; and the future of decolonization and transformations of learning and inquiry in the post-soviet spaces of higher education. While developing RSD as a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary instrument, the authors seek opportunities to problematize the prevalent concepts and approaches in postcolonial and decolonial studies in global higher education.
