The ninth issue of Reporters, “Love in Dark Times,” is 152 pages of text and visual stories filled with warmth, light, and love. Among them is a dramatic story written by TV presenter Myroslava Barchuk about her grandmother, who saved a Soviet prisoner from German soldiers during World War II by hiding him in a hayloft, and he became the love of her life. A column by writer and soldier Artem Chekh about love for one's people, which is born in moments of mortal danger. An interview with American neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky about the healing properties of love and the psychological aspects of war.
Reports by daring young reporter Dani Bumatsenko about the oil lamps that gathered loved ones around them during rolling blackouts in the 1990s, and about the love of work of a romantic garbage truck driver. And also — a photo story by Emmy Award winner and one of the global winners of World Press Photo 2024, Yulia Kochetova, about the contrasts of war.
