RTalk ‘Anarchy’ – Svetlana Ushakova and Iryna Ostapyuk

The tragic developments in the Ukraine throw a heavy shadow over this RTalk which was filmed at the height of the unrest in January in Kazakhstan. It was a courageous conversation then but now – in the light of the current events – it has a haunting if not radical quality.
0:00 Introduction of Svetlana and Iryna and the history of this episode of RTalk.
8:28 Svetlana’s take on ‘anarchy’ referring to freedom from repression and from violence:
13:39 The paradox between aspirations and the fear of the adventure to go beyond all that is known. Can humanity reinvent itself?
16:34 Chaos versus the human need for order. Reciprocal collaboration and self-organisation not falling prey to schemes and impositions.
21:04 A freely constituted society without the authority of oppression; a new political philosophy and social movement involving voluntary associations and allowing diversity.
27:59 The uniqueness of the individual creates the opportunity to fearlessly express your opinion and merge it into a new and greater wholeness. The governing principles: reciprocity, co-influence and interdependence.
31:54. The opportunity to de-construct structures of governments, corporations, families and within the individual itself to create a time for reflection and to build bridges into the future.
35:07 Learn to live with uncertainty and find the confidence to respond to things as they come, free of the reflex to control and manipulate. This allows us to step aside from the notion of norm, of standard.
40:28 The value of letting people disagree and find consensus on their own volition. This creates an environment of generosity and mutual recognition with dignity and true gratitude.
45:26 Practical observations from the unrest in Kazakhstan: calmness and absence of aggression provide for true safety and resolutions. Taking part and getting actively involved is essential.
52:17 Svetlana summarizes: “For a long time, I avoided this word ‘anarchy’ because I had a very narrow understanding of it. Now I understand it in a more profound and different way.”
55:00 Iryna summarizes: “I find a part of me wants stability and doesn’t really like change. In a period like this, it’s important to react quickly and to make decisions. This is my opportunity to learn in this period of change.”
57:19 René summarizes: “Anarchy today must not be about destroying structures in the ways of the past but about a collaborative de-construction, honest reflection and creation of space for natural structures to evolve and to provide room for diversity to manifest itself in thus far unknown forms.”
