Margaryta Yakovenko emigrated to Spain at the age of 7 with her parents, leaving her loved ones behind in Ukraine. Today, everything has taken an unexpected turn, and that family now finds itself in an area invaded by Russia. Together with Jesús García Calero, a journalist and one of Spain’s leading experts in cultural outreach, she will explore the last century of a region that has been particularly turbulent. She will draw on her latest work, Ocupación, which serves as a reckoning with her past.
