Fatima Tlis, Circassian activist living in exile in the United States speaks about the history of her people, its links to Polish people, about the Russian genocide committed on the nations who live inside this "prison of nations" and legal possibilities of decolonisation of the Russian Federation.

The interview was conducted on 31st January 2023 in Brussels by Piotr Mateusz Bobolowicz.

A fascinating exploration of the wonderful ancient sagas of the peoples of the Black Sea region and the powerful women that their stories extol. Join us as we talk with John Colarusso, linguistic professor and translator of the Nart Sagas. 

The "Nart Sagas" are a collection of heroic tales from the Caucasus which are notable for their stories of warrior women and mystical matriarchs.  In the Classical World, Caucasia was known as the land of the fearsome female fighters whose name would pass into history as "Amazons."  

The history of these people, their languages, their stories and their powerful women will amaze.

Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host.
