Anna Kryvenko

Anna Kryvenko, a filmmaker and visual fellow at Central European University, discusses her documentary "This House is Undamaged" focusing on Mariupol's devastation due to the Russian invasion. She highlights how Russian authorities are erasing Ukrainian identity while profiting from reconstruction. Kryvenko criticizes the propaganda that falsely claims Mariupol's historical ties to Russia and draws parallels between the lies of Putin and Trump, labeling them as a "carnival of hypocrisy." Her insights reveal the absurdities of war, memory, and the exploitation of a besieged city.
