The art of living in the critical zone

More than 1,300 people in Bucha were killed by Russian soldiers. These events were called the «Massacre in Bucha». At the end of March, Russian troops left the city. Immediately after the de-occupation, I returned to Bucha to see everything with my own eyes, to document it.

Bucha.April 2022

In February 2022, Russia carried out a massive invasion of Ukraine. Many Ukrainian cities were occupied. Among them, the city of Bucha, where I lived, was occupied. I managed to escape from the city, but many people remained under Russian occupation. More than 1,300 people in Bucha were killed by Russian soldiers. These events were called the «Massacre in Bucha». At the end of March, Russian troops left the city.
Immediately after the de-occupation, I returned to Bucha to see everything with my own eyes, to document it. The war is so monstrous that the survivors are the heroes. In the pictures, my heroes are people who managed to survive the occupation in Bucha.
Through small personal tragedies, I talk about a huge catastrophe that is happening in my country.
