read a story about Svitlana Glybytska
I was born and live in Kharkiv, Ukraine. I work in the Central Scientific Library of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. In Russia's full scale invasion, both the university and the library have been heavily damaged by enemy shelling. Some university buildings were completely destroyed. Nevertheless, the university has continued to work even during the war. So has the library which serves readers despite the attacks. (Of course, during air raids, everyone is asked to go to shelters.)
In addition to my main duties as librarian and bibliographer, I collect information about students, graduates, staff, and researchers of the university who have died during this war. Most of them were killed at the front or died in hospitals, some died in their homes, either while taking their children for a walk or trying to evacuate from dangerous places.
I publish articles about fallen Karazin students on the university website.
When I was offered to write for Brave Action Ukraine, I immediately agreed. I think it is very important that as many people in the world as possible learn about our heroes, and not only about Karazians. It is important that the world knows about what the Russian aggressor is doing in our country, about how Ukrainians try to endure in this extremely difficult time.
We need to tell the truth about this war, to debunk the false Russian propaganda that Russia is innocent of anything.
I hope that foreign readers, knowing what is really going on, will take the side of truth and justice and - as much as they can - help Ukraine to survive.
