"Remember, if we find her, we'll shoot the children first, then you." This is how the Russian military threatened the residents of the Ivankiv community in the search of its leader, Tetyana Svyridenko. However, the villagers did not surrender the woman.
Tatyana herself remembers the occupation like this: "There was no doubt that I would stay, that this is my community, and I would be here, no matter what happened to us there." It was decided that the hospital would remain open. The chief doctor took responsibility. There was a small bakery that baked as much as it could. "I thank the people of this community: they supported, helped, and saved each other, and due to this, the community survived."
about how the Ivankiv village community survived the occupation. How Prymachenko's paintings were saved from the burning museum and how the villages are currently being restored can be seen in our special project, Women's Power.
The stories were created in cooperation with the UN Women Ukraine project "Decentralization Reforms and Community Security: Transformative Approaches to Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women in Ukraine," funded by the Government of Denmark.
The partner project is implemented on the basis of advertising rights.
