Lucky Breaks
Captivating, innovative Ukrainian fiction about displaced women living in the shadow of the war with Russia 'This singular collection brings Ukraine, "the land of residual phenomena," entirely to life' Kirkus Reviews In Lucky Breaks, we encounter anonymous women from the margins of Ukrainian society, their lives upended by the ongoing conflict with Russia. A woman, bewildered by her broken umbrella, tries to abandon it like a sick relative; a beautiful florist suddenly disappears, her shop converted into a warehouse for propaganda; hiding out from the shelling, neighbours read horoscopes in the local paper that tell them when it's safe for them to go outside. In stories of linguistic verve and absurdist wit, Yevgenia Belorusets writes of trauma amidst the mundane, telling surreal, unsettling tales of survival in a shattered country.
War Diary
A monumental, deeply penetrating document of life in Kyiv during the first forty-one days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine The young artist and writer Yevgenia Belorusets was in her hometown of Kyiv when Putin’s “special military operation” against Ukraine began on the morning of February 24, 2022. With the shelling of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa, and Kherson, the war with Russia had clearly, irreversibly begun: “I thought, this has been allowed to happen, it is a crime against everything human, against a great common space where we live and hope for a future.” With power and clarity, the War Diary of Yevgenia Belorusets documents the long beginning of the devastation and its effects o...
Glückliche Fälle
Gespräche und Begegnungen sind das Material, mit dem Yevgenia Belorusets in einer eindringlichen Sprache und mit fotografischem Blick das Bild eines Landes einfängt, in dem Krieg herrscht und die unverwüstliche Alltagsroutine zur Groteske verkommt. Sie heißen Swetlana, Lena oder Xenia. Sie arbeiten im Nagelstudio, plaudern im Café oder bereiten die Revolution vor. Das Leben von Belorusets ukrainischen Protagonistinnen geht seinen Gang, in den Städten wie auf dem Land. Nur selten, schemenhaft, schieben sie sich in die äußeren Winkel des vom Alltag ausgefüllten Blickfelds – die Bürgerwehren, die Soldaten, das Blut. Die Realität des seit Jahren in der Ostukraine schwelenden Kriegs ...

Anfang des Krieges
»Es war ein Frühlingstag, die Sonnenflecken spielten auf den Wänden der Häuser und auf den weißen Mauern der Sophienkathedrale.« Seit Beginn des Russisch-Ukrainischen Krieges führt Yevgenia Belorusets ein Tagebuch, in dem sie aus der umkämpften Hauptstadt berichtet. Sie erzählt von ihren Eltern, von den Luftschutzkellern, von den Bildern in den Medien und den Bildern auf der Straße. Erschreckende Bilder, aber auch vertraute Bilder: denn Alltag gibt es auch im Schrecklichsten. Die Autorin und Künstlerin Belorusets schreibt und fotografiert – dabei verweigert sie die omnipräsente Kriegssprache und setzt den liebenden aufmerksamen Blick gegen Kampfrhetorik und Menschenfreundlichkeit gegen Polarisierung.

Critical Biopolitics of the Post-Soviet
This book is a critical attempt to cast a biopolitical gaze at the process of subjectification of Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, and Estonia in terms of multiple and overlapping regimes of belonging, performativity, and (de)bordering. The authors strive to go beyond the traditional understandings of biopolitics as a set of policies corresponding to the management and regulation of (pre)existing populations. In their opinion, biopolitics might be part of nation building, a force that produces collective political identities grounded in the acceptance of sets of corporeal practices of control over human bodies and their physical existence. For the authors, to look critically at this biopolitical gaze on the realm of the post-Soviet means also to rethink the correlation between the biopolitical vision of the post-Soviet and the biopolitical epistemology on the post-Soviet, which would demand a new vocabulary. The critical biopolitics might be one of these vocabularies, which would fulfill this request.
Modern Animal
In the age of autofiction and its attendant narcissism, the young, Berlin-based Yevgenia Belorusets is a point of relief. Her work, grounded in years as a photo-journalist, is exuberant rather than premeditated. It brings together the stories of many to form its identity.MODERN ANIMAL knots together humans and animals, retelling interviews, folktales, memories, and visions of the people--bourgeois, urban, rural, Roma, working class--encountered on a five-year journey through Ukraine. A lecture format, following the Soviet style, disintegrates; as, at times, do logic and language. The product is a revolutionary approach to anthropology, what it means to become and behave like something else.Without judgement or simplification, Belorusets provides intimate revelations of human-animal relationships: how we shape each other, use each other, and, at times, cross the lines that distinguish us from one another. In conversation, she finds the lost and forgotten remains of something pagan, but still irrepressibly modern.
Contemporary Ukrainian and Baltic Art

It explores the transformations that art in Ukraine and the Baltic states has undergone since their independence in 1991, discussing how the conflicts and challenges of the last three decades have impacted the reconsideration of identity and fostered resistance of culture against economic and political crises. It analyzes connections between the past and the present as seen by the artists in these countries and looks at their visions of the future. Contemporary Ukrainian art portrays various perspectives, addressing issues from controversial historical topics to the present...
