Larissa Babij and The Story of an American Kind of Refugee

Returning to the podcast, Larissa Babij, was born in the United States to Ukrainia-American parents, and attended school in Manchester, CT where she was taught by co-host Steve Armstong. Living in Kyiv, Ukraine since 2005, Larissa chronicled the first year of Russia's unilateral, full scale invasion of Ukraine through vivid dispatches that she posted on her website, now collected and published as "A Kind of Refugee: The Story of an American Who Refused to Leave Ukraine".
