3. War, Environment, and Migration: The Ukrainian Context with Eugenia Seleznova

Eugenia Seleznova is an author, editor and artist from Ukraine. In the third episode of Roots & Routes, we’re examining a broader context of climate-driven migration with her: the context of war. There is a war happening in Ukraine right now, which harms not only people but also natural resources and wildlife. In this episode, I speak with Eugenia about recent environmental catastrophes, growing up in post-Chornobyl Ukraine and the ongoing nuclear threats that further darken the days in war-torn Ukraine.Consider supporting Ukraine:Come Back AliveSerhiy Prytula Charity FoundationUAnimalsKyiv Animal Rescue GroupFind Eugenia on Instagram and the CEU Gender Studies website.Follow Roots & Routes on Instagram!Sound Credits:HBO ChernobylABC News: World Report, 1986 April 28Gorbachev Announces Chernobyl Tragedy To The Public / RBMK5000 / YouTubeChernobyl Disaster Effects: Revisiting the Nuclear Accident Site 20 Years Later /April 26, 2006 ABC NewChernobyl Recovery - A Blueprint for International Co-operation.
