Supporting Parents of Children with Disabilities: The Podcast Series

Context

For many families, the moment when a child is diagnosed with a disability or special educational needs becomes a profound crisis due to a lack of clear information, complex bureaucratic procedures, and emotional exhaustion. In the Ukrainian media landscape, these issues are often covered only fragmentarily and rarely provide practical answers to parents’ everyday questions.

In this context, the podcast format creates a safe space for explaining complex issues and supporting families who are only beginning the process of acceptance and adaptation.

What has been done

Hromadske Radio launched the podcast series “Fighters Who Conquer the World”, aimed at parents of children with disabilities or special educational needs who are encountering a diagnosis for the first time.

The project’s author, journalist Tetiana Kurmanova, discusses:

  • practical aspects of caring for a child;
  • rehabilitation and early intervention;
  • psychological support for parents and maintaining personal resilience;
  • overcoming bureaucratic barriers and social stigma.

The series also addresses the broader issue of promoting tolerant and non-discriminatory attitudes toward children with disabilities and their families.

How it was implemented

  • The editorial team chose the podcast format, combining expert commentary, parents’ lived experience, and practical guidance.
  • Episodes cover topics such as accepting a diagnosis, obtaining disability status, accessing benefits, finding doctors and specialists, rehabilitation pathways, and early intervention services.
  • The project is designed to provide immediate practical value for families while also increasing public awareness of inclusion and disability-related issues.

Impact

The podcast achieved more than one million social media impressions and received strong audience support. The project was shortlisted among the best podcasts of 2025 by MEGOGO.

Hundreds of positive responses from parents, as well as support from disability and family organizations, demonstrated both the demand for such content and its practical value for society.

What other media can learn

  • Use audio formats to provide both practical information and emotional support to target audiences.
  • Combine expert knowledge with the experiences of real people to build trust and a sense of community.
  • Discuss inclusion and non-discrimination in clear, accessible language so that complex topics become understandable to a broad audience.

Stories of Heroism and Discrimination of LGBTIQ+ in the Military Context

Context

During the full-scale war, Ukrainian media have increasingly highlighted the heroism and sacrifice of military personnel. At the same time, the experiences of certain groups — including LGBTIQ+ people serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine — remain underrepresented or are often framed through stereotypes.

For LGBTIQ+ service members, military service frequently means a double struggle: against an external enemy and against discrimination, prejudice, and misunderstanding within society and, at times, within the military environment itself. This gap between contribution and recognition became the starting point of the article.

What has been done

The editorial team of Nashe Misto became interested in the topic of LGBT+ military personnel while participating in a gender-sensitive journalism mentoring program organized by the Volyn Press Club. During the training, the team analyzed audience reactions to various topics and noticed a troubling pattern: whenever LGBT+ military personnel were mentioned, social media comments were predominantly negative.

“This was a signal for us — the topic is painful, which means there are stereotypes and prejudices that need to be addressed. We realized that our audience did not see real people behind the abbreviation ‘LGBT+.’ We wanted to convey a simple idea: heroism has no orientation. A person who defends your city, your home, your family deserves respect regardless of whom they love. The longread was meant to become a bridge between ‘them’ and ‘us,’ showing that these are not an abstract minority somewhere far away, but people who fight, suffer, and die for Ukraine just like everyone else,” the editorial team explained.

The regional media outlet then published the longread “LGBT+ Military Personnel: A Double Struggle” as a featured topic of the day.

The article:

  • shows that despite their heroism, professionalism, and commitment to Ukraine, LGBT+ service members continue to face stereotypes, hate speech, and discrimination;
  • focuses on their real-life and service-related challenges;
  • emphasizes the importance of equal rights, safety, and state support for all military personnel, regardless of gender, background, or sexual orientation.

How it was implemented

Journalists used the longread format to combine:

  • personal stories and testimonies of military personnel;
  • social and psychological context;
  • legal aspects related to equality and human rights protection.

This comprehensive approach made it possible to present not an abstract “group,” but specific individuals with military experience, responsibilities, and a tangible contribution to the country’s defense.

The publication increased local audience awareness of the challenges faced by LGBTIQ+ military personnel and of their right to equal treatment. It also sparked public discussion about inclusion and equality within the Armed Forces of Ukraine and in society more broadly.

“National media often cover LGBT+ issues in a more general context or through high-profile events. Local media have a unique opportunity to make the topic personal and understandable for a specific community. Local journalism has the power to change attitudes from within — through stories that affect people directly,” the newsroom added.

The longread contributes to building a culture of solidarity and support in which heroism is not conditional and does not depend on identity.

What other media can learn

  • Cover LGBTIQ+ military personnel at the local level without stigmatization, recognizing their service and contribution.
  • Portray people first through their actions, responsibilities, and experience rather than primarily through their membership in a “vulnerable group.”
  • Use long-form journalism to address the social, legal, and cultural dimensions of inclusion in a comprehensive way.

Public Education and Visibility of the LGBTIQ+ Community Through a Multimedia Format

Context

Despite gradual changes in public attitudes, LGBTIQ+ people in Ukraine continue to face discrimination, hate speech, and a lack of reliable information in the media. Issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity are often covered either fragmentarily or through the lens of scandal, without sufficient context or authentic human stories.

In this context, educational media projects become a key tool for challenging stereotypes, fostering empathy, and normalizing diversity as an integral part of Ukrainian society.

What has been done

Hromadske Radio launched the multimedia educational project “Someone Loves Someone” (Khtos Kogos Lyubyt) in 2024–2025, dedicated to LGBTIQ+ people in Ukraine. Journalist Ana More, the project’s author, created two seasons of video podcasts, audio podcasts, and written materials that:

  • debunk common myths about the LGBTIQ+ community;
  • discuss discrimination, social challenges, and security risks faced by LGBTIQ+ people;
  • introduce audiences to the personal experiences of the project’s participants, giving them space for self-expression.

The project’s goal was not only public education but also contributing to real social change that improves the situation of LGBTIQ+ people in Ukraine.

“Hromadske Radio considers it our responsibility to give voice to those whose voices are often unheard, especially during wartime. We deliberately chose a multimedia and serial approach so that LGBTIQ+ people would be represented not occasionally, but as a full-fledged part of Ukrainian society. Visibility and knowledge are the first steps toward reducing discrimination,” says Viktoriia Yermolaieva, editor-in-chief of Hromadske Radio.

How it was implemented

  • Season one: a series of videos and podcasts published on YouTube and Hromadske Radio platforms.
  • Season two: continuation of the format with new episodes and an expanded thematic focus.
  • Integrated approach: combining personal stories with factual explanations of myths, discriminatory practices, and legal issues.

The multimedia format made it possible to reach different audience segments — radio listeners, podcast audiences, YouTube viewers, and readers of written articles.

Impact

The first season became the most popular project on Hromadske Radio’s YouTube channel in 2024, while the second season became one of the channel’s most popular projects in 2025.

The project accumulated hundreds of thousands of YouTube views and millions of social media impressions. Audiences left hundreds of comments emphasizing the courage of the format, the importance of open conversation, and the accessibility of information about LGBTIQ+ people.

What other media can learn

  • Combine personal stories with factual explanation in order to work simultaneously with emotion and knowledge.
  • Provide platforms for socially marginalized groups and allow them to speak in the first person.
  • Use multimedia formats — video, podcasts, and written articles — to broaden reach and maintain long-term audience engagement.

Women’s visibility in urban space

Context

Municipal awards and symbolic recognition shape public perceptions of who is considered important to a city’s history and identity. Yet the gender dimension of such decisions often remains outside public attention. In Dnipro, the title Honorary Citizen of the City has historically been awarded predominantly to men, reflecting not only past practices but also contemporary mechanisms of visibility and recognition.

What was done

The newsroom Misto i Richka prepared an analytical article that:

  • showed that only four women are among Dnipro’s honorary citizens;
  • raised the issue of gender inequality in public recognition and women’s visibility;
  • publicly asked the city and its residents: Why does women’s contribution so rarely receive official recognition?

How it was implemented

  • The editorial team analyzed the lists of honorary citizens and conducted a statistical comparison of the number of men and women.
  • The material was presented as a public inquiry and investigative-style analytical text intended to encourage discussion.
  • The article was adapted for social media in order to reach audiences beyond the website’s regular readership.

Impact

The publication drew attention to a topic that had previously been largely absent from the regional media agenda: gender inequality in symbolic municipal recognition. It stimulated public discussion about women’s role in the life of Dnipro and about the mechanisms through which urban memory is constructed.

Natalia Kulidi, editor-in-chief of Misto i Richka, emphasizes that the role of a local media outlet is to identify stories of gender injustice and bring them into the public sphere, initiating discussion as a first step toward restoring women’s voices. According to her, the newsroom deliberately sought to present women’s stories through a contemporary lens, which is why it chose a comic-style illustration format — “as if we were inscribing our heroines into the contemporary context of the city.”

“We are a newsroom that is 90% women, so naturally we want to support ‘our own’ wherever we can,” she adds.

What other media can learn

  • Raise gender and social issues even when they are not considered an obvious part of the local news agenda.
  • Use data and concrete examples to support public-interest criticism.
  • Treat urban symbolism as a subject of journalistic analysis, not only as a source of news.

Returning Women to Urban History Through a Special Project and Artistic Practices

Context

Urban history is usually recorded through male names, while women’s contributions often remain marginalized or disappear from collective memory altogether. In the case of Dnipro, this means losing a significant part of the city’s own history, from the era of Katerynoslav to the present day.

What was done

For International Women’s Day, the editorial team launched the special project “Women of the City on the River”, dedicated to outstanding women of Dnipro. The project:

  • combined long-form articles with active repackaging for social media;
  • featured original illustrations by Dnipro-based artist Stasia Velikodna, created in a comic-book style;
  • highlighted the issue of gender visibility, noting that throughout the city’s history only eight women have received the title of honorary citizen.

How it was implemented

  • Journalists worked together with historians to recover the names and biographies of prominent women from Dnipro.
  • The visual component became a separate storytelling tool: the illustrations “brought the heroines to life” and made the project visually distinctive.
  • The project combined historical context, contemporary art, and a social message, making it accessible to a broader audience.

Impact

For the first time, historical women figures of Dnipro were brought back into the public information space through a vivid visual language. Active distribution of the materials on social media increased their visibility and audience engagement. The project became an example of how local journalism can help restore historical justice and create a more inclusive image of the city.

What other media can learn

  • Highlight marginalized women’s histories within urban and cultural contexts.
  • Combine journalism with art and visual storytelling.
  • Use social media and interactive formats to engage new audiences and amplify the impact of journalistic projects.

Informing Veterans About Employment Suppor

Context

In small communities, the return of veterans to civilian life is an especially important issue. It is at the local level that people most often seek employment, retrain for new professions, or consider starting their own businesses. At the same time, access to clear information about state support services is often limited in small towns and rural communities.

In this context, local print media remain an important source of practical information, especially for older audiences and people who do not have regular access to digital resources.

What was done

Yampilski Visti published an informational and analytical article about employment service opportunities available to veterans.

The article:

  • addressed the employment of defenders as one of the key challenges of post-war community recovery;
  • outlined veterans’ main needs after returning from war, including rehabilitation, retraining, job search, and starting a business;
  • emphasized the importance of systematic rather than one-time support.

How it was implemented

The material was prepared as an accessible explanatory article adapted to a print format.

The journalistic approach included:

  • a focus on specific employment service opportunities such as vocational training, career change, employment support, and assistance for self-employment;
  • explanations written in simple, understandable language without complex bureaucratic terminology;
  • an orientation toward practical usefulness for community residents who could immediately apply the information.

Impact

The publication increased awareness among veterans in the Yampil community about available tools for returning to civilian life and economic activity. It also contributed to a broader understanding that veteran support is a long-term, systematic process in which local communities and public services play a key role.

Svitlana Nakonechna, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Yampilski Visti, explains that residents of small communities trust print media because the newspaper is not merely a source of news but a chronicle of community life. According to her, trust is not built through likes or reach; it “grows over time”: “If a newspaper has survived for a century, it means there is truth and responsibility in it.”

She also notes that the print format forces journalists to work more carefully and honestly because printed information cannot be quickly corrected or deleted. “When you publish complex or sensitive information, you leave a trace in the history of the community, not just a publication,” she says.

For Nakonechna, working at Yampilski Visti means speaking with people almost face-to-face through the pages of the newspaper rather than through comments on social media. She emphasizes that in a small border community, the printed word is perceived as verified and experienced together with readers, so journalistic responsibility means writing in a way that one can “look people in the eye without shame,” because the newsroom and the community are essentially one whole.

What other media can learn

  • Use print formats to distribute practical information, especially in communities with limited digital access.
  • Inform veterans about available services regularly, not only around commemorative dates.
  • Combine social issues with practical explanations that are useful for everyday community life.

Ethical Reporting on Postpartum Depression and “Window of Life” Cases

Context

Postpartum depression remains a highly stigmatized topic, while public stories about maternal crises are often presented through condemnation, sensationalism, or simplified moral judgments. Such approaches only increase women’s fear of seeking help.

What was done

The Gre4ka editorial team published a story about a woman from Kropyvnytskyi who, while experiencing postpartum depression, left her newborn at a “Window of Life” facility.

The article:

  • addressed the socially sensitive issue of women’s mental health;
  • focused on the woman’s emotional state, fears, and experiences;
  • deliberately avoided condemnation or formal moral judgments of her actions.

How it was implemented

The story was told through the woman’s personal experience, emphasizing postpartum depression as a medical and psychological condition.

The editorial team chose a non-judgmental, empathetic tone, highlighting that seeking help in a crisis situation is a necessary and responsible step.

“This was a challenge for the newsroom: how to write about the case so that the woman would not face public condemnation. We chose to tell the story through her feelings and experiences and to stress that asking for help is normal. Surprisingly, there was no negative reaction at all. Later, the woman contacted the newsroom again and told us that, by court decision, the child had been returned to the family and that she continues treatment for depression under professional supervision,” said Iryna Trebunskykh, a journalist at the outlet.

Impact

The publication did not provoke negative reactions from the audience, which is significant given the sensitivity of the topic. The article contributed to a more thoughtful and empathetic public understanding of postpartum depression.

Later, the protagonist informed the newsroom that her child had been returned to the family by court order and that she remained under professional treatment for depression, indirectly demonstrating the value of a supportive rather than stigmatizing media approach.

What other media can learn

  • Report on socially sensitive topics with a focus on human experience rather than judgment, placing emotions, motivations, and life context at the center of the story.
  • Use empathetic, non-stigmatizing language when covering mental health, motherhood, and crisis situations, avoiding sensational headlines and moralizing wording.
  • Treat sources as partners rather than “subjects of a story”: explain how the material will be used, agree on sensitive details, and respect the right to pause or remain silent.
  • Clearly distinguish facts from public opinion and avoid replacing journalism with moral judgments or pseudo-expert conclusions.
  • Include information about available support services (hotlines, counseling, support centers) so that the article has practical value for readers in similar situations.
  • Work systematically with mental health topics, not only during crises, helping normalize conversations about them.
  • Monitor audience reactions and be prepared to explain editorial decisions if the topic raises questions or debate.

Overcoming Gender Stereotypes in Fatherhood Through Local Journalism

Context

Gender stereotypes about fatherhood remain deeply rooted in Ukrainian society: childrearing is often perceived as a “woman’s responsibility,” while men’s caregiving role is undervalued or treated as exceptional. In the context of war, loss, and the disruption of family structures, these perceptions require particular reconsideration.

For frontline communities in the Kharkiv region, stories of families who survived occupation and continue living through wartime become an important source of social support and normalization of diverse family models.

What was done

The Hromada.Group editorial team published a social-profile feature about Oleh Mykhailiev, a history teacher from Artemivka in the Pechenihy community, who has been raising three children alone after the death of his wife.

The article:

  • presents the experience of a single father without appealing to pity or sensationalism;
  • shows a man’s daily responsibility and care as a normal part of fatherhood;
  • describes the family’s experience of surviving Russian occupation and adapting to life during the war.

How it was implemented

The article was produced in the format of a social portrait focused on the family’s everyday life.

The journalistic approach included:

  • a detailed description of the family’s story and the daily challenges of raising children;
  • a conscious avoidance of heroization, dramatization, or emotional pressure on readers;
  • a focus on the father’s role as caregiver, educator, and a stable figure in the children’s lives;
  • adherence to ethical standards regarding children’s privacy.

Olena Zelenina, Head of the Analytical Department of the Hromada.Group local media network in Kharkiv region, noted:

“The topic of ‘a dad on parental leave’ is almost absent from Ukrainian media. Perhaps because very few fathers use this opportunity. According to various estimates, only 2–3% of fathers take parental leave, which is significantly lower than in many European countries, although public opinion surveys show that a large share of Ukrainians consider it normal when a woman earns more than a man. In reality, however, stereotypes still limit this practice.”

She also emphasized that stereotypes in the portrayal of fatherhood are reinforced by exceptional cases. According to her, when media focus only on “ideal” fathers or, conversely, “terrible” fathers, they create an unrealistic background for most people. Therefore, avoiding moralizing judgments is one of the best safeguards against reproducing stereotypes in coverage of fatherhood.

Zelenina further stressed the importance of balancing public interest with children’s privacy. In sensitive cases, she recommends changing names and avoiding identifiable locations such as schools or neighborhoods. Journalists should explain not only where the material will be published, but also what reactions and comments may appear online, so that participants understand the implications of a permanent digital footprint. At the same time, she emphasized that journalists must never pressure people to relive painful experiences for emotional effect or a stronger headline.

Impact

The publication helps challenge the stereotype that parenting is exclusively a “female sphere” and increases the visibility of men as responsible and engaged fathers.

The article also:

  • supports public acceptance of diverse family models;
  • demonstrates how local journalism can address sensitive social issues without stigmatization;
  • fosters empathetic understanding of families living in frontline communities.

What other media can learn from this

  • Cover male caregiving without sensationalism or exoticization, avoiding framing it as an “exception” or a “heroic act.”
  • Avoid pity-oriented language and excessive heroization, focusing instead on responsibility and everyday care.
  • Portray fatherhood as an ongoing process, not merely a reaction to tragedy or loss.
  • Challenge gender stereotypes through normalization, allowing the story itself to convey the message.
  • Address social issues through concrete human stories, rather than abstract generalizations.
  • Take into account the local context of war and occupation, showing the resilience of communities and families.
  • Apply strong ethical standards regarding children’s privacy, never using children as emotional tools.

Visibility of Veterans’ Experiences and Reducing Stigma Through First-Person Storytelling

Context

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, the number of veterans in Ukraine has been rapidly increasing. At the same time, public discourse about veterans’ experiences is often limited to two extremes: heroization or stigmatization. Veterans’ stories are frequently reduced to narratives of trauma, loss, or “otherness,” which complicates reintegration into civilian life, contributes to social isolation, and reinforces discriminatory perceptions.

In this context, media play a crucial role in shaping a responsible, unbiased, and humane understanding of veterans—as diverse individuals with their own histories, experiences, and potential for active participation in society.

What Was Done

The media platform Nakypilo created the podcast series Shoulder to Shoulder, centered on conversations with soldiers and veterans of Ukraine’s liberation war.

The podcasts address:

  • returning from the front to civilian life, adaptation, and rehabilitation;
  • mental health, bodily changes, inclusion, and the prevention of social isolation;
  • veterans’ experiences in their own words, without imposed frameworks of heroization or pity.

One episode features Dmytro Kozatskyi (“Orest”), a veteran, public speaker, and project manager working on veterans’ engagement in the defense industry, highlighting veterans’ professional development and civic participation as well.

How It Was Implemented

The series is built around open, non-confrontational conversations in which participants speak in the first person, at their own pace and in their own language.

The editorial team deliberately chose:

  • an audio format that creates a sense of a safe space for discussing difficult topics;
  • a focus on personal experience without generalizations or stereotypes;
  • an approach that allows discussion not only of traumatic events but also of recovery, new social roles, and participation in community life.

Natalia Nekypila, commissioning editor at Radio Nakypilo, explains that the newsroom approaches mental health, bodily changes, and vulnerable veterans’ experiences in line with the outlet’s editorial policy. The key principles include prioritizing human dignity over sensationalism, using non-stigmatizing language, and respecting the personal boundaries of guests. Veterans are never treated as “cases” or generalized figures; their own voices and their right to control their stories remain central.

According to her, the newsroom consciously avoids dramatization, excessive heroization, and pathologization of experience, does not pressure guests emotionally, and considers the psychological safety of the audience, especially when covering PTSD, loss, and adaptation to civilian life. This helps minimize the risk of retraumatization and triggering for listeners.

She also emphasizes the importance of contextualization: veterans’ personal experiences are presented within a broader wartime and social context, including access to rehabilitation, the role of communities, and state responsibility.

“This approach resonated with audiences: listeners and veterans noted the calm tone and the feeling of a safe space where difficult topics could be discussed without retraumatization. Critical feedback also occurred, and we took it into account. The local context of Kharkiv is fundamental for us: the city lives in close proximity to active hostilities, and this shapes the tone of our conversations—careful, restrained, and oriented toward supporting the community. The radio does not merely talk about veterans; it talks with them as members of a community for whom the experience of war is an everyday reality.” — Natalia Nekypila

Impact

The podcast series contributes to changing perceptions of veterans—from seeing them solely as carriers of traumatic experience to recognizing them as diverse and full participants in social life.

The materials:

  • help dismantle stereotypes related to bodily changes, mental health, and expectations of the “perfect hero”;
  • strengthen public discussion about equality, dignity, respect, and trust;
  • provide an example of responsible journalism when working with vulnerable experiences in wartime and postwar contexts.

What Other Media Can Learn From This

  • Build conversations with veterans on the basis of equality rather than treating them as a “special category.”
  • Allow guests to speak in the first person and at their own pace, without emotional pressure or imposed narratives of heroism or suffering.
  • Avoid generalizations and stigmatizing language that automatically links veteran status with mental illness, danger, or social isolation.
  • Cover mental health responsibly, distinguishing personal experience from professional medical or psychological information.
  • Use formats that reduce confrontation, such as podcasts and long-form conversations that allow careful listening and nuanced discussion.
  • Show the diversity of veterans’ experiences, including women veterans, veterans with disabilities, and people of different ages and professions.
  • Shift the focus from war as an event to life after war, including work, civic engagement, professional development, and everyday challenges.
  • Coordinate sensitive topics with guests and respect their right to decline discussing certain experiences.
  • Avoid exploiting visual or audio effects that intensify drama at the expense of human dignity.
  • Reflect on the newsroom’s own role in shaping public perceptions of veterans and its responsibility to support inclusion rather than exclusion.

Women Soldiers’ Visibility in the Culture of Memory

Context

Despite women’s active participation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the security and defense sector, their military experiences remain insufficiently represented in the culture of memory. Traditional practices of war memorialization often reproduce masculine images of heroism shaped by the Soviet legacy, which leads to the symbolic exclusion of women soldiers from public commemorative space.

In the context of the full-scale war, the question of whom and how we remember becomes not only cultural but also political and value-based. The visibility of women defenders in memorial practices is an important condition for building an inclusive, fair, and contemporary culture of memory.

What Was Done

The media platform Nakypilo produced an episode of the podcast Memorialization of War dedicated to the presence of women soldiers in the culture of memory.

In conversation with Oksana Dovhopolova—co-founder and curator of the memory culture platform Past / Future / Art, Doctor of Philosophy, and professor at the Kyiv School of Economics—the episode:

  • analyzed why women’s military experiences remain insufficiently visible in public space;
  • examined the influence of Soviet militaristic traditions on contemporary commemorative practices;
  • raised the question of rethinking approaches to memorialization through a gender lens.

How It Was Implemented

The podcast was designed as an expert analytical conversation focused on cultural and philosophical analysis.

The episode discussed:

  • contemporary tools of war memorialization, including artistic projects, memory festivals, public campaigns, and local memorials;
  • the ways cultural practices can both reproduce inequality and become instruments of change;
  • the topic in cooperation with Divoche.Media, which expanded the audience and engaged listeners interested in gender issues and cultural processes.

The podcast format made it possible to explore the issue not through isolated cases but as a long-term social process requiring reflection and systemic solutions.

Impact

The episode contributed to a new understanding of commemorating women soldiers as full participants in the war rather than exceptions within a “male” narrative.

The material:

  • strengthened public discussion about the need for change in the culture of memory;
  • drew attention to symbolic inequality in memorial practices;
  • generated active audience engagement on social media through comments, shares, and discussions.

What Other Media Can Learn From This

  • Integrate a gender perspective into coverage of war, memory, and commemoration, rather than limiting attention to news reports about women’s participation in combat.
  • Ask questions about visibility and exclusion, analyzing whose experiences are represented in memorial practices and whose are systematically ignored.
  • Work with experts from humanities, cultural studies, and philosophy to provide deeper analysis of complex issues that extend beyond daily news logic.
  • Use podcasts and long-form formats to discuss long-term social processes where context and reflection are more important than speed.
  • Critically rethink the Soviet legacy in language, symbols, and memorial forms, proposing alternative and inclusive approaches.
  • Collaborate with other media outlets and cultural platforms to broaden audiences and bring multiple perspectives into conversations about memory and war.
