Diversity Podcast Violetta Nadbitova

I want you to learn with me what being a woman means in different cultures, so I asked different women to answer this tough question, "What does being a woman mean to you?" in their native languages.

As for me, since I grew up, International Women’s Day is all about womanhood and the Power of a Woman.

Tune in and enjoy!


Since women replied in their native languages, I have added an English translation for you. You can find it under the YouTube description due to the limitations of this platform.

What is generational trauma, and how does it influence our lives? Why don't older generations acknowledge this type of trauma, and what is my personal experience with it?

Discover why this episode is exceptionally personal and vulnerable as I share my own journey. I will also touch on how the tragic chapter of Kalmyk history: the Siberian Exile of 1943, during which Kalmyk people were deported to Siberia and spent 13 years stigmatised as 'enemies of the nation' might have influenced us. Also, we will explore how this experience has impacted future generations and examine how generational trauma affects us on unconscious levels with the help of an expert.

Comments for this episode were provided by psychologist and gestalt therapist, Inna Dolenko-Kulemina.

Join me in this special episode, the first in a series on mental health of the Diversity Podcast.

Dekulakization is the “liquidation of the kulaks as a class”, was part of Stalin’s “second revolution” (or “revolution from above”), launched at the end of 1929 with the decision to collectivise millions of peasant households. “Kulaks” were wealthy peasants or farmers who owned or managed larger plots of land or had more significant agricultural success.

What do you know about the Oirats? Were you aware that the Kalmyk people did not traditionally celebrate birthdays and the New Year? Have you come across the term "Nutug" before?



Join us as we dive into these intriguing questions and explore the upbringing of my dearest guest in today's episode, Maria Ochir, a Kalmyk Archaeologist. 



This episode not only delves into the historical aspects of the Oirats (Kalmyk) people, but also sheds light on Maria's own experiences growing up during the 1960s-1970s when the Kalmyk people returned from the Siberian exile (1943) which lasted 13 years. Throughout this episode, we discuss the various transformations that the Kalmyk people underwent during this period of transition, as well as uncover the concept of nostalgia within the Kalmyk culture.



P.S: Kalmyks are Oirats
