Life in occupied Ukraine: Crimea

Three years into the full scale invasion of Ukraine, we ask what life is like in areas under Russian control, beginning in Crimea.

Russia鈥檚 land grab playbook aimed at erasing local identity and Russifying 鈥渓iberated鈥 territories. Three years into the full scale invasion of Ukraine, we ask what life is like in areas under Russian control. Part one looks at 鈥渞ipe for Russification鈥 Crimea, which was annexed 11 years ago. Part two focuses on Moscow鈥檚 subsequent efforts to assert itself in the separatist East. And in part three we explore the Kremlin鈥檚 challenges in subjugating parts of the newly occupied Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. As time passes, the uncertainty over the future of what Ukraine calls 鈥渢emporarily occupied territories鈥 grows bigger.
