The Russia-Ukraine war that began in 2022 caused a refugee crisis in Europe, with millions of Ukrainians escaping war zones and settling, at least temporarily,in various countries. In Estonia, scholars working on life stories wish to collect narratives from recent Ukrainian refugees and publish them on an open access project platform.
Aside from the academic value of this material,the project can also be seen as a way of recording and safekeeping the Ukrainians’ tragic experiences for both them and a wider public. Some participants would like to openly publish their stories of war and escape even under their own names so that their experience can inform the public about what happened and allow scientists to analyse their experiences.
However, while the war in Ukraine continues, there is also a simultaneous information war raging, and the refugees’ relatives may still be fighting in the former. Further, some refugees might have witnessed war crimes and the possibility exists that these stories could later be used as evidence in a court of law. Further, among refugees, there are children and adolescents whose stories form part of those told by their family members.
