The reality of refugees and displaced persons is an unrelenting woe in the modern world. Almost every country in the 21st century faces the challenges of migration in one way or another: as a country that people leave or as a country that receives others. Russia’s war against Ukraine brought to us, among other injustices, the agonizing heartache of the experience of displacement. Since its outbreak – the annexation of Crimea and the armed conflict in eastern parts of Ukraine in 2014 – approximately 1.5 million Ukrainians have been forced to flee their homes in search of new refuge within the country, with only a small number considering seeking refuge outside of it. With the outbreak of full-scale war and the invasion of the northern and southern regions of Ukraine by Russian troops, the number of displaced persons and refugees has increased dramatically – around 4 million displaced persons within the country and 6 million refugees. The trauma of displacement can take different forms: sometimes people leave their homes without realising that their home is lost forever and therefore live in the hope of returning, and sometimes they leave after their home has lost its symbolic meaning and security function. Day by day, with each Russian shelling, there is a growing number of abandoned homes – everything from houses to cities, especially those near the frontline. Every day, a dwelling place loses its sacred meaning of attachment, becoming a perilous no man’s land. That is why people go in search of a new home.
