Westsplaining (a blend word of West and the informal form splaining of the gerund explaining is a pejorative term that represents criticism of Western world sociopolitical views of Central and Eastern Europe and its historical and current relations with the former Soviet Union and modern-day Russia.
The word became virally popular during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine after Jan Smolenski and Jan Dutkiewicz defined the word to mean "[the] phenomenon of people from the Anglosphere loudly foisting their analytical schema and political prescriptions onto the [Central and Eastern European] region".: No, calling for diplomacy is not ‘Westsplaining’  wikipedia.org Alexander Demidov) |
