NEW STUDY | “They Came to ‘Liberate’ Us and Left Us with Nothing”
What does life under Russia’s occupation look like?

It is a “total, all-encompassing fear” that dominates all aspects of
life – that is how Ukrainians who lived under occupation in 2022-23
until they were liberated or escaped described it to me. In a new study,
I collect accounts from Ukrainians to understand what their stories
tell us about Russian occupation practices.

News about the war in Ukraine are often dominated by front line
movements and the counting of kilometres of advance or retreat. Through
in-depth interviews, I aimed to instead shed light on the experiences of
those that populate these spots on the map and the human cost of living
under Russian ‘rule.’
