In her tragically unfinished book, written during Russia’s brutal campaign to annihilate Ukraine, Victoria Amelina writes about the feeling of experiencing reality as a nightmare. Amelina was in the process of documenting the war crimes in diary form using her own and other women’s observations, when she was killed in a Russian missile attack. Now the unfinished work has been translated into Swedish under the title ”See the Women, See the War”.
Her life, work and work are discussed in a conversation between Amelina’s close friend, journalist and PEN Ukraine executive director Tetyana Teren, and Ida Börjel, a Swedish author and multiple award-winning poet who has devoted parts of her work to the situation in Ukraine and Belarus.
