Posle Media

After the Russian invasion in Ukraine, life in both countries will never be the same. Why did this war begin? Why is it so hard to stop? What will the future look like after the war?

Posle (‘after’ in Russian) is an attempt to answer these questions. As a community of like-minded authors, we condemn the war, which has unleashed a humanitarian disaster, wrought colossal destruction, and resulted in the massacre of civilians in Ukraine. This same war has provoked a wave of repression and censorship in Russia. As part of the left, we cannot view this war separately from the immense social inequality and powerlessness of the working majority. Naturally, we also cannot look past an imperialist ideology that strives to keep the status quo intact and feeds on the militarist discourse, xenophobia, and bigotry. 

Our platform sets out to examine the structure of these problems and imagine the way out.
