How can good practices be developed for collecting, preserving, and publishing eyewitness accounts of a war that is still ongoing? The contributions offer insights into specifics of interviewing witnesses of the first months of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Each chapter introduces researchers and practitioners who began documenting the war while living through it, driven by a desire for justice, preservation of memory, and community building. As a dialogic and multifaceted volume, it welcomes collaborative thinking and serves as a methodological guide and a space for frankness and sensitivity, capturing the academic community’s response to the challenges posed by extraordinary circumstances and existential threats.

»Besides documenting Ukrainian voices – morally and academically an essential task – this book gives testimony to the efforts of academics who have continued their work despite genocidal threats of Russian aggression against Ukraine. These voices need to be heard and preserved for a better future in Europe.«
»A voice from within, from the eye of the cyclone, this book is proof that it is possible to rebuild one’s professional identity with dignity and meaning. It is fitting into a broader discussion about who has the right to speak for whom, the relevance of the researcher’s position, and the necessity of seeking alternative forms of expression beyond traditional academic texts – perhaps not just for times of war.«
