The story of a Mariupol defender who went to war at 18 and survived captivity

Duration
30’

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, he became the youngest defender of Mariupol, spent almost two and a half years in Russian captivity, and is now recovering. During the Human Library, we will build a bridge from the front to hear an extraordinary story of choice and resilience.

Book: 
Oleksii Novikov: “I am a Territorial Defence fighter from Mariupol, went to war at 18, and survived captivity. Ask me — I’ll tell you how it is.”

Moderator: Yevhen Pavliukovskyi, journalist.
