Last week, I wrote this piece urging people to support the independent Ukrainian media organization, Svidomi. In that piece, I promised a podcast with the organization’s chief and founder, Anastasiia Bakulina. Our conversation got delayed by a few days for technical reasons. First, my recording software failed for reasons that may or may not be related to the worldwide cyber outage. Then, just as we were ready to try again, the power in Lviv went out. Apologies for the delay, but here is the conversation. As you’ll see, Nastya has a remarkable story to tell—one I find inspiring and which I cannot help but think about in relation to the history of Lawfare, which like Svidomi, began as a volunteer project of three friends and has developed into something much more professional and substantial.
And please do consider supporting Svidomi. As she describes in the conversation, Nastya has ambitious plans for the future of the organization. We can help make it a reality.
And once again, no, I have no financial relationship with Svidomi whatsoever.
