For 14 years, he was the dean of the sociology department at the Moscow School of Social and Economic Sciences (Shaninka) in Moscow. He emigrated from Russia after the authorities attacked Shaninka. He is currently taking part in the Beach University project of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences in Montenegro. We talked about the routinization and different types of normalization of war, the nature of the current mutual accusations that seemingly ideologically close people make against each other, and the various modern twists in anti-colonialist rhetoric. Viktor admitted that October 7 was a bigger surprise for him than February 24, and shared his thoughts on whether the wars of Ukraine against Russia and Israel against Hamas can be called fair. ▶️TIME CODES: 00:00 – Viktor Vakhshtayn talks about himself 01:08 – How was your day on February 24, 2022? 02:14 – Did the war come as a surprise to you? 03:10 – How has your life changed since the war started? 04:40 – You are currently taking part in the Beach University project of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences in Montenegro.
