Russian/Soviet colonial rule produced different outcomes and reactions in different localities. It unfolded within a complex mix of ideas and material conditions across the vast Eurasian landmass. Geography, religion, local ethnic traditions, earlier imperial layers, pre-Soviet cultural value-systems, infrastructure, and wider regional dynamics all shaped how people experienced and responded to that rule.
This presentation approaches these questions through a series of short life narratives, offering insight into the complexities of living in various locations under Russian/ Soviet colonial rule in the 1940s–1980s.

The analysis is presented from an ecosocial perspective, which understands all living beings and environments as deeply interconnected. While this perspective considers ideologies and political regimes, it also moves beyond them to draw attention to the very concrete, material impact of political rule.  

Epp Annus is associate professor at Tallinn University, Estonia; she also lectures at Ohio State University, USA.
