They say love is a choice. The choice to wish good for another. We dedicate a new number to this choice, which at the same time makes us vulnerable, but also prevents our hearts from hardening in these dark times.
Love is the only weapon that evil does not have in its arsenal. And it is what helps us hold on and not go crazy in the darkness of loss, destruction, and pain that Russia brings to us.

Among them is a dramatic story written by TV presenter Myroslava Barchuk about her grandmother, who during World War II saved a Soviet prisoner from German soldiers by hiding him in a manger with hay, and he in return became the love of her life. A column by writer and military man Artem Chekh about the love for one's people that is born in the moment of mortal threat. An interview with American neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky about the healing properties of love and the psychological aspects of war.
Reports by the daring young reporter Dana Bumatsenko about the lamps that gathered around them those closest to them during the blackouts of the 90s, and about the love of work of a romantic garbage truck driver. And also - a photo story by Emmy Award winner and one of the global winners of World Press Photo 2024 Yulia Kochetova about the contrasts of war.
