We Who Have Changed

overview

contents

This anthology, edited by Daria Badior and Anastasia Platonova, focuses on how the Russian war against Ukraine radically transformed identities, views, thoughts, ideas, and values, of Ukrainian people.
In this collection of essays, Ukrainian culture makers reflect on their lives during the war, speaking through their experiences and documenting shifts caused by the full-scale invasion.

The ten essays tell stories about leaving homes, intellectual and professional reinventions, the emotional burden of witnessing, attempts to explain this war’s cultural pretexts to people outside Ukraine, and finding one’s own voice in the world that changed forever.
