I Want to Go Home

Orignal title: Я хочу додому, 2022Translator: John Freedman, Natalia Bratus, English

A woman waiting out the war in Europe attempts to make sense of what has befallen Ukraine following Russia's attack on her nation. She is angry, and confused, and she misses her boyfriend, who remained behind to fight. “War is when you can't breathe. Out of hatred. War is when your body is convulsed with pain for fear for your relatives. It is when you escape abroad with your child and spend all your time scrolling through the news.”
