#VictoriaAmelina: "Blick auf Frauen den Krieg im Blick" -
Eindringliches Zeugnis des Kriegs in der #Ukraine
Die ukrainische Autorin Victoria Amelina dokumentierte russische Kriegsverbrechen und engagierte sich für eine freie Ukraine.
А чому ви схожі на них ? / Може ви брати ? / Ні, наші руки спліталися не в обіймах, а у бою / Наша кров мішалася із землею / З якоі вони збирали наш урожай Наші очі сльозилися і ставали кригою / За воротами теплих міст / Із яких нас гнали / Наша мова сгоряла заживо, / Скрикнувши на майдані, / І ми іі підбірали іншу, / Наче чужу рушницю / І вивчали з книг тюремників / Ходи тюремного лабіринту. Наша мати кляла нас, / Щоб схожі були на вбивцю, / Не на батька вбитого, / Аби загинули не на вбійні А в бою. Коли наш бій починається / Hе запитуйте краще чому ми схожі на тих, / Хто так давно нас убиває
А чому ви схожі на них ? / Може ви брати ? / Ні, наші руки спліталися не в обіймах, а у бою / Наша кров мішалася із землею / З якоі вони збирали наш урожай
Наші очі сльозилися і ставали кригою / За воротами теплих міст / Із яких нас гнали / Наша мова сгоряла […]

Poème sur une corneille Sur un champ bleu nu au printemps Une femme en robe noire se tient debout, criant le nom de sa sœur Comme un oiseau dans un ciel vide. Elle criera chaque nom d'elle-même : Celle qui s'est envolée trop tôt, Celle qui a supplié de mourir, Celle qui n'a pas pu arrêter la mort, Celle qui attend encore, Celle qui croit encore, Celui qui pleure en silence. Elle pleurera chaque nom en terre, comme si elle semait le champ de douleur. De la douleur et des noms de ces femmes, de nouvelles sœurs naîtront de la terre, Et, à nouveau, chanteront haut et fort la vie. Mais qu'en est-il d'elle, la corneille ? Elle doit rester dans ce champ pour toujours, Parce que son cri est la seule chose Qui retient les hirondelles dans les airs. Entendez-vous comment elle appelle Leurs noms un par un ?

A photo of Victoria Amelina’s posthumously published war diary next to my in-progress cup of coffee.
![A photo of the editor’s note, which really drives home how the author’s life and work was cut short. It reads:
Editors' Note
At the time of Victoria Amelina's death, the manuscript of the would-be book was left unfinished. While the author managed to finalize the overall structure and write up some of the chapters (mostly in part I and the conclusion), other sections remain unfinished. They are composed of unedited notes, reports from field trips with no context, or limited to just a title. The editorial group's strategy is to minimize their intrusions into the original manuscript and, where such intrusions are impossible to avoid, make them explicit to the reader. Such intrusions are explained below.
<<... > indicates excerpts found by the editors in the older versions of the manuscript and pasted into the final draft.
Gray text indicates rough unfinished notes left by the author in
the draft of the manuscript.
Italic passages are fieldwork reports and other documents pasted by the author into the manuscript.
[... ] indicates clarifications added by the editors.
[Editors' note] in the body of the manuscript signals to the reader a switch from the polished text by the author to a rough draft or contextualizes the section of the manuscript that follows.
All footnotes are inserted by the editors to add context or to comment on the state of the manuscript (for example, sentences left unfinished and connections undeveloped).
All the fragments in Ukrainian have been translated into English by Daisy Gibbons. All the poetry translations from Ukrainian into English have been made by Uilleam Blacker.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:esqjgsnnqc6rpfqanzbvhdh6/bafkreifbfthugv6x6l2pqoi7qrxcfyd2jm6idftoyuhmudhya2n53sune4)

I’ve been anxiously awaiting for my copy of this to come in to my local bookstore. Worked out perfect for #InternationalWomensDay.
I’m sure this is going to be a tough read. Even the editor’s note is devastating.
