The Circassians (Adyge) are one of the oldest indigenous peoples of the North Caucasus. In the 19th century, they faced one of history’s largest genocides and mass deportations.

Here we share insights from historian Anastasiia Kosmina’s research.

In September, we raised $166,551 and delivered 14 parcels to our heroes in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. We also closed two fundraisers and dedicated much time to events and networking.

Please join me in raising funds for medical cargo buses and trucks with electric jamming for brigades of Ukraine's Khartiia Corps. These automobiles make the difference between whether people survive or not. We can do something very specific and meaningful to help.

Today is International Top Spinning Day! As you might already know, Dzyga means this toy in Ukrainian. Our best doggo boss was named Dzyga because she's always moving around, walking, playing, and helping us in the office 🐾

Kyiv’s Maidan Nezalezhnosti, laid out in the 19th century, has witnessed empires fall and revolutions rise. Here, in 1990, 2004, and 2014, Ukrainians stood for sovereignty, democracy, and dignity. Since 2022, thousands of flags honor fallen defenders across the square.

In September, children across Ukraine returned to school, some in underground classrooms. Missile and drone attacks kept hitting civilian homes, killing families in their sleep while Ukrainian soldiers kept holding the line.

This is how the month looked like in 10 pics.

A week before the invasion, my friend asked me:

- I don't believe there will be an invasion, but I have a question: maybe that's because I have my own house, car, and business, and I can't believe it could all end in one day? You don't have any of this - how do you assess the situation?".

Russia’s refining capacity is collapsing at an unprecedented rate, deepening its soaring government deficit and making the war in Ukraine increasingly unsustainable.

This pressure could have been applied years ago if not for one person and his fear of “escalation”.

This is possibly the biggest honor for Ukrainian writer - to have your own book in the hands of Timothy Snyder - great friend of Ukraine...

Thank you Timothy, your historic perspective on freedom has influenced me a lot, and much of that is also reflected in my book.

Freedom!
