Morning from Ukraine!

The night was calm in Kyiv.
While having my #warcoffee , I thought that I might have a day off from social media today. Again. I don't know. Some silence is needed for a day.

Today's photo: Mykola Trokh, Kharkiv photographer…

I listened to the Ukrainian psychologist.
He and his colleague just published a book, 'What is it, a war?' In it, they describe the physiological state of Ukrainians during the first six months of the full-scale invasion.

When asked where we are now, he…

I visited that lecture about a Ukrainian architect and artist, Vasyl Krychevskyi (1873-1952). This time there were no air raid alerts 💃

And now, I am having a #warcoffee in a bookstore.

I have just finished my workout.
It is so beautiful outside. Spring makes everything brighter and even easier.

Morning from Ukraine!

The night was calm in Kyiv.
It is a sunny and warm day. We have power, water, and walls, so everything is not bad.

I have been looking for a proper painting while having my #warcoffee . Every morning, I didn't choose them randomly.…

I try (sometimes harder, sometimes less) to stay positive. But the situation here is not good. The lack of interceptor missiles, furious attacks on critical infrastructure (gas, electricity, water), ru advances on the frontline and relentless destruction of…

Yesterday, I got a book that has already become a part of history: Mariupol Monumental.

In this short video, I show you Mariupol mosaics.
It includes 26 significant original mosaics and several dozen works of decorative and design art. Between 1963 and 1987,…

A night russian attack destroyed the Trypillia Thermal Power Plant in the city of Ukrainka in Kyiv Oblast.

The plant was the main electricity supplier to Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Cherkasy oblasts.

I don’t know what will be the consequences of this attack. We still…

Morning from Ukraine!

At night, russians attacked our energy infrastructure in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa and Lviv oblasts.
They used drones, cruise missiles and Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. Our air forces shot down 57 air targets out of 82.

There…

I read a magazine about the history of Ukrainian photography. Perhaps I need to write more about this history and give you some names and facts (it is not boring), but that is not the point now.

I found out that in 1919, in the Ukrainian Soviet Republic…

I am having a #warcoffee now and dreaming.

I am in that bookstore they sell used books. It is really my favorite one in Kyiv.

The woman I have known for many years will leave Ukraine this week. She will take her daughter and two small grandchildren to look for peace in another country.
‘I do this for them’, she said.

I know. I know.
I have the world here. Please take care of…

Morning from Ukraine!

The night was calm in Kyiv. But (there is often but), russians hit the energy and public transport infrastructure in Odesa and Mykolaiv Oblasts.
By the way, today is Liberation Day of Odesa from fascist invaders (the city was under…

Some time ago, I got a comment that it was amazing I could still see the beauty in nature.
I didn't respond then, but I will now.
My ability to see beauty has risen tremendously during the war. I notice lots of things I could easily miss before. So yes, I…

I have a heavy folder on my laptop called Ukrainian Art. In the section on modern artists, there are some soldiers. Today, I added another one.

Kostyantyn Avramov. He has been the Art Director of L'Officiel Ukraine and L'Officiel Homme for many years. Now,…
