Oksana Demych Diary

Oksana was a student of cultural studies at the Ukrainian Catholic University, where she met the beginning of the full-scale war. Later, she spent a short time in Chernivtsi. This small diary, written over the course of one month, shows how a young person adapts to constant anxiety and the need to hide, while still hoping for the best.

Anastasia started her diary in early March 2022 with the word "hiding place" [skhovok] and ended it in late July with the word "hysteric” [isterechka]. At some point, the author found herself in Spain, and although we do not know where she is now, the entries from the beginning of the war give the feeling of almost complete presence.
