The article deals with the shyness of academics in approaching the colonial issues of the postcommunist world. The coloniality of former Soviet republics and satellites presents critics with both ideological and epistemic embarrassment and it has generally been met with reserve in academic circles. Though Soviet colonial imperialism has been amply documented, scholarly overviews blatantly disregard colonialism as a general subject that may be applied outside particular concerns with Western capitalism and the result is a distorted, Westcentric picture of colonialism as a theoretical category. The article proposes to shed light on some of the probable causes for this reticence and deconstructs the monumentalization of ideologies like liberal humanism or Marxism by observing their modulations in different historical and political contexts. These qualifications and nuances assist the author’s effort to reclaim the coloniality of (post)communist experience.
