VOGUE Ukraine 1 2023 Edition One Spring First Number During Full Scale Invasion

The Vogue Ukraine Edition team is poised to reveal an extraordinary edition, underscoring the strength and bravery exhibited by individuals amid Ukraine's all-encompassing invasion. Embark on a journey through a Heroes portfolio that presents 50 compelling narratives of resolute collectives and individuals navigating the trenches, field operating rooms, front lines, and beyond. This montage of valor encompasses daring journalists, humanitarian aid providers, rescuers, and cultural luminaries, all contributing to the collective spirit of resistance.

In an exclusive conversation, Ukraine's First Lady, Olena Zelenska, provides insights into the toll of the war and discusses her statewide initiative offering psychological support. Kyrylo Budanov, the seldom-heard head of Ukraine's intelligence, unveils the agency's delicate balance between secrecy and public awareness. Esteemed figures such as Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba, UN Representative Serhii Kyslytsa, and Nobel laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk underscore the significance of the diplomatic arena. Football icon Andriy Shevchenko and Eurovision winner Jamala shed light on utilizing their public personas for relentless fundraising.

Vogue Ukraine Edition engages with Donetsk-born artist Alevtyna Kakhidze, who documented life near the frontline, and the national synchronized swimming team, persevering in their training for Olympic gold amidst blackouts. Award-winning journalists Yevgeniy Maloletka and Mstyslav Chernov recount their experiences in Mariupol during the city's siege. Fighter pilot Vadim "Karaya" Voroshilov, volunteer sapper Lesya Litvinova, and intelligence officer Illia Samoilenko share the daily challenges faced on the frontline.

Global perspectives enrich this issue, with authors like Irena Karpa and Dana Pavlychko conducting interviews with key figures worldwide. Renowned photographers Stephan Lisowski, Serhii Morgunov, Vic Bakin, Vasylyna Vrublevska, and Andrew Grey, known for their celebrity captures, pivot to a gonzo-style portrayal of the war's reality within the President’s Administration interiors and the desolate villages near the frontline.

The cover, an abstract creation by Kyiv-based artist Vasylyna Vrublevska, sets the tone with a blue-black-and-yellow image from her project, The Garden of Nothing. The cover line, "Road of the Unbreakable," pays tribute to those featured and the countless unsung heroes. Dedicated to each one, this issue unfolds at the ART ON THE BATTLEFRONT exhibition in Vienna, an initiative by Vogue Ukraine Edition, symbolizing solidarity and resilience.
