Power Lines bonus episode 6: Roman Ratushnyi (Patreon)

In this week’s bonus episode, co-hosts Anastasiia and Jakub talk more about Roman Ratushnyi, a Ukrainian activist who fought to preserve Kyiv’s green spaces, and who was tragically killed by Russian soldiers earlier this year after joining Ukraine’s Armed Forces. They speak with two of Roman’s close friends: Arthur Kharytonov, president of the Liberal Democratic League of Ukraine, and Maryna Khromykh, Executive Director of DEJURE Foundation. Arthur and Maryna discuss activism, Roman’s legacy, and the future of Ukraine’s civil society.
