Antonina Palarczyk

Born in 2001, she has been writing correspondence from the war in Ukraine for almost three years, mainly for Tygodnik Powszechny. Among other things, she reported on the Zaporizhzhia counter-offensive and the Kursk operation from within Russia. She hitchhikes along the front lines, staying with soldiers. She is a psychology student who is curious about the impact of war on the individual psyche. She tries to describe the war from the perspective of individual people and places. A morgue in a frontline town, a deserted street with a hunched babushka, and a trench in the Zaporizhzhia wilderness.
