Essays on the war
Within the framework of the project, Ukrainian and foreign authors reflect on what Ukrainians have learned about themselves and what they have no right to forget, what illusions they got rid of or still need to get rid of, what they realized, how they will position themselves when speaking to the world from now on. They also think which lessons the civilized world should learn from the Russian-Ukrainian war and what to do to avoid the repetition of such tragedies.
