Когда “смеются” русские Искандеры

На заглавной картинке – Украина, город Харьков (1,5 млн. жителей), 28.02.2022

На протяжении последних лет мы были компанией людей, увлеченных музыкой Боуи, которая с легкостью преодолевала межконтинентальные и языковые барьеры. Благодарю каждого, кто когда-либо донатил для блога. Я всегда старалсь выбирать для вас самые интересные материалы и поддерживать свой контент на высоком интеллектуальном уровне.

Сегодня в Украине идет война. То, что творят по приказу Путина рашистские “освободители” на моей земле, является геноцидом украинского народа. Кроме прилетов крылатых ракет, авиабомб, случаев расстрела мирных жителей, которые на машинах пытались выехать из зоны боевых действий, шли по улице в аптеку или магазин, вчера мы стали свидетелями, так называемого, неизбирательного огня – обстрела жилых массивов в Харькове и Чернигове ракетными установками крупного калибра. Я не смогу описать это словами, в сети уже достаточно видеоматерилов.

В ближайшее время новых постов в блоге не будет. Но и потом, если получится все это пережить, сомневаюсь, что мне захочется говорить и писать на русском языке – на языке неофашистов и оккупантов.

Однажды (надеюсь, не в концлагере) я буду вспоминать, что в ночь, когда началась война, я испекла обалденно вкусные булочки с кремом. Это было в прошлый четверг, но кажется, с момента первых взрывов прошли годы.

Fleeing Russian-occupied Hostomel: it’s either Russia or death

Hostomel emerged as a prime target for Russian forces during their advance on Kyiv in February 2022. Situated just 25 kilometres from the capital, the airfield was earmarked to serve as a crucial operational hub for the Russian Armed Forces. The strategic plan outlined the deployment of an elite airborne group to secure the airfield, followed by the arrival of Il-76 cargo planes ferrying the main occupying forces. However, beyond its logistical significance, the airfield served another sinister purpose in the Russians’ scheme: it housed a central camp for both civilian and military prisoners. I spent a week interviewing survivors and speaking with the relatives of those who perished in Russian captivity, endeavouring to uncover which units of the Russian occupying forces might be accountable for this atrocity.

The Ukrainian Night: An Intimate History of Revolution

What is worth dying for? While the world watched the uprising on the Maidan as an episode in geopolitics, those in Ukraine during the extraordinary winter of 2013–14 lived the revolution as an existential transformation: the blurring of night and day, the loss of a sense of time, the sudden disappearance of fear, the imperative to make choices. The Maidan was an illumination of the human capacity for natality, the ability to act, to begin anew at this moment. It was the turning point without which Ukrainian resistance to the full-scale Russian invasion cannot be understood.
