The guest of Episode 9 is Leonid Marushchak, a historian and curator who has spent many years evacuating cultural heritage from Eastern Ukraine and working on the project "Museum Open for Renovation." We discuss how the full-scale war has transformed museum work, how collections were evacuated from frontline areas — including private holdings and public sculptures, such as Zhanna Kadyrova’s deer from Pokrovsk. Blending personal stories with systemic issues, we also talk about state cultural policy, bureaucracy, and sabotage, and reflect on the role of saved artifacts in shaping memory and identity after the war.
