Burying manuscripts to keep them from Russian soldiers

from CitizenCast · host CitizenCast

Volodymyr Vakulenko hid his journal beneath a tree in his yard. The pages detailed the Russian invasion of his home country, Ukraine. Vakulenko was afraid he would not live to see the manuscript published -- a fear that tragically came true. On this week's Velshi Banned Book Club, Ali Velshi speaks with Ukrainian author and journalist Yaruslov Trofimov, who wrote No Country For Love, which explores Russia's attempts to wipe out Ukrainian literature and history.
