The Village Peremoha: Remembering the Month under Russian Occupation
Friends shot dead, bombing and captivity – a Ukrainian family experienced all of that during Russian occupation. When the Russian army invaded Ukraine on 24 February, a young married couple, Nadia and her husband Vova, were living in Kyiv. On the same day, they packed up and left for the village of Peremoha to stay with Nadia’s parents.
The village is situated about 60 kilometres east of the Ukrainian capital, by the road to the town of Sumy on the Ukraine-Russia border. The first Russian soldiers arrived in Peremoha on 28 February and stayed for a month. The family from the village, whose name means “Victory,” remember what the month-long occupation caused to them and how they managed to survive it.
