From Yurt Jurt:
In this first episode, we introduce ourselves and the mission behind the Yurt Jurt. We’re here to explore why the term “post-Soviet” doesn’t define us, why the USSR was a colonizer, and how our histories were rewritten. Join us as we dive into these foundational questions and set the stage for deeper conversations on decoloniality in Central Asia and beyond.
