On the YouTube channel Anna from Ukraine, Anastasiia Oleksii — executive director of the Raphael Lemkin Society — speaks about Russia’s militarization of education in occupied territories and its attempt to erase Ukrainian identity.
Together with Milena Chorna, founder of the Association of Ukrainian Museums, they discuss the daily risks museum workers face while saving collections, how digitization helps preserve cultural heritage under attack, and the role of international partners.
This episode highlights how Russia’s war targets not only people but also Ukraine’s history, memory, and culture — a systematic assault that experts recognize as part of genocide.
