Cities, Movements, Freedom: From Odesa to Kholodnyi Yar

Every city has its own history of resistance. Odesa, Kholodnyi Yar, and dozens of other localities have become sources of inspiration for literature that shapes identity. How do local stories transform into books that change society? In a conversation between Oleksandr Buhela and Yevhen Buket with local historian Myroslav Vynar and urbanist Iryna Feshchenko, they explore the path from field research to a finished book, the role of communities in preserving memory, and how local activism can grow into a powerful national movement. This discussion will show that the fight for freedom begins with small stories that become great.
