The short conclusion reflects on and recapitulates the arguments made in the thesis. It also points in the direction of future research that would be fruitful, most prominently in the form of providing the space for “contrapuntal narratives” and an imperial archive, located in, and excavated from, the colony. The Coda contains an element of auto-critique in that it also identifies what this project would have benefitted from, not least Russian language skills and easy access to Soviet sources. The book ends by impelling us to continue working towards the dismantling of the project of colonial knowledge and by so doing to continue weakening the processes of racism, sexism, violent accumulation and dispossession that it perforce engenders.
