Russian journalist and photographer Victoria Ivleva opened an exhibition of photographs “Bakhmut in Bochum”
Twenty-five black and white photographs taken in February 2023 in Bachmuth were on display in the library of the Ruhr University (Germany). The photos tell stories of the war and the people affected by its aftermath. One of them is about Larisa, who reads her poems at the Point of Indestructibility. Another is about Zoya, who refused to be evacuated until her son, killed by a grenade, was buried.
Ivleva herself moved to Kyiv in the early days of the full-scale Russian invasion to help Ukrainians. She went to Bakhmut, first to help with the evacuation of the residents, and only then to document the horrors of war.
Viktoria Ivleva’s exhibition will run until July 31st in the library of the Ruhr University.
