Editorial
Since the beginning of the Russian attack on Ukraine on February 24, the eyes of the world have been focused—rightly, of course—primarily on the victims of the war, i.e., on the countless Ukrainians who were suddenly confronted with a completely changed living situation and were forced to flee or to persevere under the most adverse conditions. In solidarity with Ukraine, several countries that were able to provide the necessary funds have made special efforts to establish support for artists, including Austria with the project “Office Ukraine—Shelter for Ukrainian Artists,” which serves as a contact point for artists from the attacked country and provides a platform for their art.On the other hand, dissident artists from Russia and Belarus, the “perpetrator countries” fomenting this war, find themselves in a doubly difficult situation: Despite their open protest against the authoritarian systems of their countries, they are unwelcome in the West because of their origins. And in their home countries, they feel less safe than ever because of their political views. Basically, their situation is similar to that of stateless persons, except that at least no one is really interested in the latter, a state of insignificance that quite a few Russians and Belarusians would be more than happy to experience.
It is thanks to the commitment of Simon Mraz, a long-time observer of the Russian cultural region and author of this issue’s In Focus, “Visual Protest in Times of War,” that, despite the otherwise rather uniform media coverage, journalistic space is now being given to an internal view of the situation with the contributions of Lesia Pcholka and Alyona Malkowskaya.
