Yevgenia Belorusets, a young artist and writer, found herself in her hometown of Kyiv when Russia launched its "special military operation" against Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The shelling of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa, and Kherson marked the commencement of a war that would have irreversible consequences. Belorusets expressed her profound outrage, deeming it a crime against humanity and a violation of the precious common space where people live and aspire to a better future.
In her powerful War Diary, Belorusets vividly captures the early stages of devastation and its profound impact on the lives of ordinary Ukrainians. She describes the surreal experience of interacting with strangers who suddenly become your "countrymen," the challenges of maintaining a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos, and the newfound fear associated with routine activities like coffee runs.
The War Diary first appeared in the German newspaper Der Spiegel and quickly gained international attention. It was translated by an anonymous collective of writers on Weibo, read live by Margaret Atwood on International Women's Day, adapted for an episode of This American Life on NPR, and showcased at the 2022 Venice Biennale as part of the pavilion "This is Ukraine: Defending Freedom."
Through her poignant words and vivid storytelling, Belorusets provides a glimpse into the lives of those caught in the midst of war, offering a powerful testament to the resilience and determination of the Ukrainian people. Her diary serves as a reminder of the importance of defending freedom and the devastating consequences of conflict.
