No Country For Moving: Dasha: Ukraine

Published: Feb. 12, 2021, 5 a.m.

When Dasha moved to the US from Ukraine it was not a choice she made on her own. Crimea, the region she called home, had been annexed by Russia and it was not a peaceful takeover. In the years following, Dasha lived her life like the daughter of a politician running on an "anti-corruption" campaign. When the campaign took a turn, she was sent to the US and landed in Decatur, Georgia, and soon after made life in Boston and NYC.
