It has been the worst year for every Ukrainian. In a way, it also has been the best one. Those Ukrainians who survived through it are transformed forever. Despite the trauma, pain, and heartbreak, they keep dreaming, creating, and daring. There are millions of Ukrainian stories that can inspire anyone to live in a better world and to be a better person. But for the season two finale, we decided to keep it within the close family and feature 9 Ukrainians and how they withstood the darkest, coldest winter of our lives.

The episode features: Solomiya Petlyak, Mariam Naiem, Stas Olenchenko, Maria Buchelnikova, Romeo Kokriatski, Tetyana Denford (Bisyk) and Alice Zhuravel.

Russian-backed conspiracies about Ukraine and Ukrainians might come across as bizarre, entertaining, or even funny. But every piece of anti-Ukrainian propaganda shared abroad, even if accidentally or as a hate share, has a specific price in actual Ukrainian lives. That's why Ukrainians take so seriously the work on the information frontline, and it is universally regarded as important as defending our freedom with actual weapons in the trenches. Mark Kaplan, our featured Ukrainian for this episode, might have a reputation as a funny journalist ridiculing Russian propaganda for a late-night show on Telebachennya Toronto. But he also developed one of the brightest and smartest understandings of how anti-Ukrainian disinformation gets picked up in the West and why it happens.

This is not the first time russia is trying to eradicate Ukrainians. This is not the first time fascism is trying to wipe an entire nation from the face of the Earth, either. Nevertheless, there has never been so much global unity when it comes to helping Ukrainians like today. But does it mean that we are finally learning our 'never again' lessons? Let's do a quick rundown of things foreigners historically always get wrong about Ukraine and whether they are still mainstream. Our featured Ukrainian is Andrea Chalupa, a prominent Ukrainian-American journalist, author and the person behind an absolute must-see Holodomor movie Mr. Jones.

When Ukrainians express discomfort by being pushed into a space with a russian person without consent, some foreigners label it 'hatred' or 'russophobia.' When Ukrainians talk about centuries-old pattern of serial abusive behaviour of Russian society towards the neighbours, we are dismissed as 'emotional' and 'hysterical.' Could it be just a lack of empathy or education? Lia Dostlieva, a Ukrainian artist, anthropologist and our featured Ukrainian for this episode, want you all to recognize in this attitude the old Western colonial tradition of marginalizing 'uncomfortable' voices. Together we decided to do a small workshop on how to talk and listen to Ukrainians without falling into colonial tropes.
