En savoir plus sur le livre
This powerful graphic journalism highlights the contrasting experiences of a Ukrainian journalist and a Russian artist during Russia’s war on Ukraine, collected and illustrated by Nora Krug. Following Russia's invasion in February 2022, Krug began a year-long correspondence with two anonymous subjects—“K.,” the Ukrainian journalist, and “D.,” the Russian artist. Through weekly interviews, she crafted illustrated accounts that showcase their differing perspectives on the war's impact. With millions displaced, injured, or killed, Krug captures the devastating effects on individuals. K.’s diary reveals a year filled with emotional turmoil, documenting profound loss—the deaths of loved ones, separation from family, and the destruction of her homeland. Yet, her narrative also embodies themes of courage and resilience amid uncertainty. Conversely, D.’s story expresses his disillusionment with his government’s actions and his efforts to emigrate with his family. He grapples with his cultural identity, guilt, and inaction against a tyrannical regime, prompting readers to reflect on their own political contexts. Krug’s thoughtful approach encourages critical engagement with these complex experiences. Published as an Op-Comic series with the Los Angeles Times, this collection serves as a harrowing real-time record of an ongoing international conflict that continues to affect countless lives.
