Annotation
Since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Donbas has been synonymous with conflict, cities such as Mariupol and Lysychansk becoming familiar to us through the images and reports of brutal devastation. In this cultural portrait of the region, Victoria Donovan excavates a rich, multicultural history of the Ukrainian East, and paints a radically different picture of a region normally only perceived through the rubble of war. Speaking to artists, railway workers, miners, and young people who have grown up amidst instability and destruction, Donovan documents local efforts to resist cultural erasure and reveals the intensely personal lived reality of Putin’s war.
