People (literally no one) asked me, “why don’t you take a picture of your book with Derzhprom, the main Kharkiv’s jewel?” So I did it for my favourite subscribers😁. (thanks to the great activist Ksenia Levadna for that).

Kharkiv’s Museum of Natural History. Founded in 1807, it was based initially in private collection of the earl Severyn Pototsky, and later became part of the university. It’s one of the oldest university museums in Europe. Some photos of the haunted exhibits below.

Interestingly, attacking Ukrainian books were also popular in the russian empire and the Soviet Union. The burning of the old Ukrainian books in Vernadsky library in 1964, or burning of the Kharkiv archive in the building of projects in 1941 are among the bright examples.

Wild grapes trying to hold together the bombed out house, squeezing into covered windows and balconies hanging by a thread. Kharkiv autumn is beautiful and sad.

I’ve noticed a new phenomenon - people asking online fortune tellers to predict which streets the russians are likeliest to hit in Kharkiv in winter. “They will hit homes a lot”, fortune teller stated the obvious. “And water, but that’ll be repaired”. A lot to analyze here.

The next entry to the Kharkiv’s Halloween gothic vibe architecture series is a 1899 Professor Somov’s mansion. As a friend said, “imagine profs used to have this money”. He was a professor of ornithology 🦅.1/2

The money was, of course, inherited as all lecturers and students in the Kharkiv university had to be aristocrats. Anyway, it was designed by Kharkiv’s favourite guy, Oleksii Beketov. Imagine experiments with birds and ghost piano playing through the night. 2/2

Walking past the Kharkiv flea market, I saw bodies in black bags. An elderly woman and a man, killed in a precision strike by the russian military who train on civilians. It’s been a warm October day. I bought yellow chrysanthemums and wondered if the flea market opens tomorrow.

Dear all, a great chance to think of the most pressing topic on the next-year RUTA! Apply with your most daring ideas.
Tereza Hendl@TerezaHendlOct 15
Looks like we couldn’t have chosen a more timely topic: RUTA 2027 will explore freedom. What does it take to achieve and defend it? Where do its limits and tensions lie? And what can we learn from those who have thought and fought for freedom before us? ruta-association.org/confere…

Several smarter people noted these aren’t capybaras, but Patagonian Maras. Live and learn💅.
