What is it about war that brings the best writing out of people? This was both joyous and heart breaking.

Thanks for this excellent article.
I can just about imagine the state of mind of the average Russian person. Likely not much different from those who just recently claimed that a few months worth of data is enough to gauge any and all long-term side effects. The magic word back then was “rolling review”, whereas now it is “nazí”. The power of propaganda is a true shame for humanity.

Odessa – or aren’t we supposed to spell it Odesa now? – has always seemed like one of those exotic places that I’d love to visit, but would probably disappoint me when I finally got there.
Well I guess we’ve all learnt a lot more about the reality of life in Ukraine over the past few weeks, with or without a war. So when Putin has finally retreated – at least to the breakaway Donbas – I’m determined to go for a road trip around this amazing country.
What a thoughtful, illuminating article. In places, humorous as well. Unherd at its best.
