Anastasiia joined a distinguished panel featuring Yuliia Parkhomenko, an OSINT investigator at the Centre for Information Resilience, and Adam Ure, an expert in Russia, Ukraine, and information threats.

‍Talk: Decolonisation of Ukraine and Central Europe from Russian Imperial Influence
Anastasiia delved into the persistent colonial mindsets that linger decades after independence. She highlighted Ukraine’s unique case, where over 400 years of Russian imperial domination left deep scars on its language, culture, and academic narratives. She emphasized the need to expand postcolonial studies to include Eastern European perspectives and confront Russia’s ongoing imperial ambitions, arguing that decolonization is essential for securing Ukraine’s sovereignty and identity.

‍Presentation: Ukraїner: Telling the World About Ukraine in 10 Languages
At Oxford, Anastasiia shared the journey of Ukraїner as an independent non-profit media organization. She illustrated how Ukraїner’s multilingual storytelling challenges dominant narratives and amplifies Ukraine’s voice on the global stage.Through these engagements, Anastasiia Marushevska not only deepened understanding of Ukraine’s struggles and triumphs but also fostered meaningful connections with students and professors across the UK. These events underscore the critical role of dialogue and education in raising global awareness about Ukraine’s history, identity, and ongoing fight against Russian aggression.
