In the previous chapters, I have analyzed the different workings and compositions of neoliberal authoritarianism: how it both emerges from and manifests in Russian universities. In this chapter, I examine what happens with the resistance to the authoritarian state, which has become penetrated by neoliberal rationality and governance, and the control, disciplinarity, and dispossession it has created in Russian universities. Projects of resistance in these cases must navigate through a complex assemblage of oppressive powers, including global neoliberalization and the authoritarian state. I analyze three academic projects where resistance to the governance of neoliberal authoritarianism has taken place: FEM TALKS, Free University, and DOXA. These can be seen as attempts to translate the processes of ruination into livable projects and to reclaim academia, which has previously been alienated by the authoritarian-neoliberal accumulation of power and resources. They transform the corporate-authoritarian university and its vertical power structure into horizontality, freedom, and joy, breaking free from its control and reclaiming academia. However, these processes of translation have their limitations. The enactments of radical imaginaries are embedded within the existing assemblages of capture, stasis, and persistent neoliberalization.
