Interkom is a podcast about politics and society in post-socialist Eurasia. On this show I look at rebellion and resistance, and the struggle against the politics of reaction and repression, in a region where the past weighs heavily and often complicates attempts at formulating leftist analyses of contemporary sociopolitical processes.

This episode is an audio version, read by myself, of an article I recently wrote for Meduza: "Builders in Solidarity - A rambunctious Russian-speaking union shakes up Sweden’s labor movement". It was published earlier in the summer, as part of Meduza's excellent English-language newsletter, The Beet.
Here is a link to the article.
And here is a link to a longer article I wrote for Jacobin in the spring, where I look more closely at the minutia of the so-called Swedish model of labor relations, and how Builders in Solidarity fits into the current crisis it is experiencing.
