New !! @eepolitics.bsky.social Symposium ‘Understanding Ukraine’s resistance, resilience and reform in the face of Russia’s war’ tandfonline.com/toc/fjcs21/4...
Last month in Kyiv, I met up with the writer Artem Chapeye, a pacifist who joined the army in 2022 remains there. His decision exemplifies how Ukrainians are taking matters into their own hands, no matter what Western leaders do. @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2018...
The Ukrainian Anarchist Pacifist Poet Whom Putin Drove to Take Up Arms
Artem Chapeye once spent his time translating Gandhi and Chomsky and getting published in The New Yorker. Then, in 2022, he joined the army.
