Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Add to the above list if you can, thank you.
Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)
Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict and, unlike most western analysts, has some degree of understanding on how war works. He is a reactionary, however.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Yesterday's discussion post.
Transnistria is the closest to that and might be what you're thinking of - but it's only an outward appearance (e.g. hammer and sickle on the flag). The country has generally pretty reactionary beliefs and the current President, I believe, looks more positively towards the Russian Imperial days pre-USSR than the USSR itself. And the governing and largest party is "centrist". There's only 1 seat out of like 45 with a ML party (ironically, Moldova, the country it's trying to break away from, has a larger socialist party).
