The collective “Beyond the post-soviet” or Btps emerged in 2021 as a non-hierarchic collective that produces and disseminates knowledge on geographic and cultural regions, previously referred to as ‘post-soviet space’ and ‘post-socialist countries’.

The group approaches research affectively and relies on multiple types of knowledge such as: theoretical knowledge, works of art and fiction, individual and collective stories, memories and emotions. It gathers artists, researchers, thinkers, and curators based in and working across different contexts.
