The Issue of Russian Colonialism in Ukrainian Thought. Dependency Identity and Development

Abstract: SUMMARY: Стэфен Велыченко реконструирует происхождение интерпретации, в рамках которой история Украины в составе Российской империи и Советского Союза рассматривалась с точки зрения колониальной экономической зависимости, а также в контексте взаимосвязи экономического развития и политического имперского контроля. Автор анализирует развитие концепции колониализма (и империализма), которая была тесно связана с марксисткой и немарксистской экономической мыслью, и оспаривает правомерность применения колониально… Show more

“…The correct identification of processes that are not necessarily unique to the post-socialist urban world or its individual parts is important for understanding the processes and events related to contemporary urbanisation. Moreover, Russian imperialism not only is based on the traditions of USSR, but stems from a much longer colonial tradition of the Russian Empire (Velychenko, 2002;Wolff, 1994). It is the lack of understanding of this fact that enables the popularisation of racist theories such as the need for alleged "denazification" as a justification for the Russian invasion (Kuzio, 2023;Rossoliński-Liebe & Willems, 2022).…”

“…Moore's (2001) article calling for such a dialogue was a relatively lonely voice, but it took just a few years for this point to be accepted as commonsensical (see Hagen 2004, Buchowski 2006, Spivak et al 2006, Chari and Verdery 2009). Today, one can list studies applying the postcolonial perspective to the former Soviet periphery, from the Baltic states (Kelertas 2006, Annus 2012, Platt 2012b and Ukraine (Pavlyshyn 1992, Shkandrij 2001, Velychenko 2002, Chernetsky 2003, Ryabchuk 2011 to Central Asia (Gorshenina 2007, Tlostanova 2010, Abashin 2011, Mignolo and Tlostanova 2012, as well as to the countries of the former socialist bloc (Kovačevič 2008, Kołodziejczyk andŞandru 2012. This literature builds on the long-term tradition of the critique of Orientalism in the Western imagery of 'Eastern Europe', dating back to Larry Wolf's (1994) groundbreaking book.…”

“…When the Ceylonese President at the 1955 Bandung Conference proposed that there was a Soviet colonialism that had be abolished just like any other, Nehru interjected that the subject was not on the conference agenda and closed the issue. World opinion did not consider the 1960 UN “Declaration on the Granting of independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples” applicable to the USSR.” ( Velychko, 2002 : 335).…”

“…McLeod’s The Routledge Companion to Postcolonial Studies (2007) focuses exclusively on European colonial powers (British, French, Spanish, and Portuguese), thus completely ignoring the imperial nature of the Russian Empire and its successor, Soviet Russia. In Western academia, this silence was partially broken by Ewa Thompson’s Imperial Knowledge (2000) and has been occasionally addressed by Ukrainian scholars ( Velychko, 2002 ; Riabczuk, 2013 ; Ageyeva, 2021 ; Yermolenko, 2021 ). However, Russian colonialism seems to be excluded from the postcolonial discussion in Western academic discourse, thus creating the fallacious impression that Russian colonialism as such has never existed.…”
