Sumario: The concept of colonial schadenfreude is proposed as a lens to understand the positively gleeful coverage of Russian defeats during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) as it appeared in two key periodical publications in the Philippines and Indonesia, El Renacimiento/Muling Pagsilang and Bintang Hindia. This affective state differs from the more traditional, individual manifestation thereof inasmuch as it emerges from the colonial condition itself. The chronic threats to the self-image of the colonized drive them to feel pleasure at the misfortune of a group that may be identified with their own colonizers, thus triggering schadenfreude. But unlike the undesirability of conventional schadenfreude due to its perceived maliciousness, colonial schadenfreude is a liberating affect, as it fosters the imagining of a future free from the colonial condition.
