Photographer Alex Majoli captures the state of Odesa, months into Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as author Katja Petrowskaja grapples with the devastation of the war in a moving personal essay.
As I write, six weeks have passed since the war began. We are starting to adjust. The death of a person becomes a statistic. It is impossible to adjust. We are watching the war online. The stories we encounter are emerging as if out of a ripped belly, multifaceted grief, without hierarchy. They block any means of perception.
A Russian missile strike on a military base in Mykolaiv claimed the lives of dozens of Ukrainian soldiers.Whatever I do, my thoughts are in Mariupol, a city that before the war was home to more than 400,000 inhabitants. I try to imagine so many people, starving, under bombs, trying to flee, unable to bury their dead, bombed again, dying while I am writing, dying while Western leaders debate and hesitate. Mariupol already recalls the siege of Leningrad and the battle of Stalingrad in one.
Russia misuses Ukrainian war victims for propaganda in order to kill more people and to indulge further killing, justifying the newly killed as a premise to kill even more. Everything that does not help to break the pace of this war seems hollow to me. We know this dystopian nature of dictatorship. It reproduces death.
