If I didn’t feel we had a shared future, I might not have stayed here.”
Yosef Zissels calls himself a Ukrainian Jew — and works just as much for both nations. During the Soviet era, he was a dissident and researched the use of punitive psychiatry in the USSR. In recent years, he has taken an active role in opposing the Russian-led memorial project at Babyn Yar.
Since the full-scale invasion began, supporting our team and gathering donations has become more challenging as we, like everyone else in Ukraine, focus on fundraising for our defenders. Now, we turn to you—the international community and supporters of Ukraine—to help us continue producing vital stories that not only support Ukraine’s fight against invasion but also remind the world of the value of freedom.
