After the tragedy of the Azerbaijani Airlines plane, the slogan "Putin, apologize!" appeared. In Azerbaijan, no one writes about the disaster anymore, but about the crime - says Dr. Shahla Kazimova, head of the Center for Azerbaijani Studies at the University of Warsaw, in the podcast "Globalny Chrząszcz". In the third episode of the podcast "Globalny Chrząszcz", Jerzy Haszczyński talks to Shahla Kazimova, an orientalist and culture expert, about the complex history and present of her homeland, Azerbaijan. The topic of Prometheism from before World War II and what remains of it today appears. How did Azerbaijan react to the crash of the Azerbaijani Airlines plane on December 25, which was shot down by Russians? What else is causing tension between Moscow and Baku? What alliances is Azerbaijan building? Does the West really support the countries of the Caucasus? Traditionally, "Global Beetle" discusses the difficulties with the Polish language, which is not the native language of the podcast guests. Shahla Kazimova also answers questions about "Przedwiośnie" by Stefan Żeromski, which takes place, among others, in her hometown. She emphasizes that the Polish writer was not in Baku, but by describing the city he proved his literary talent, "skillfully showing the chaos of the revolution, the rich city that was very socially stratified, the dynamics and - unfortunately - the cruelty of those years".
