“As a Moscow-based photographer covering the war, I had heard about these surreal press tours of Russian-occupied Ukrainian cities organized by the Department of Defense,” the photographer told Mellen. “I knew these trips came with a healthy dose of Kremlin propaganda, but I was willing to photograph parts of the region that few journalists could access. It was one of the only opportunities I had to see what life was like in places virtually cut off from the world.” The photographer captured empty streets in Donetsk and utter devastation in Lysychansk, smelled death in the air in Mariupol and watched residents of Melitopol become Russian citizens as part of a process of “mythologizing Russia”. Together, these images and experiences offer a rare glimpse into what life is like for Ukrainians living under Russian military occupation.
