I told myself that if young Nicole had decided to take to the streets with a flyer, as a journalist I had the duty to enter the publishing arena. This is what I did by writing “Ukraine: grammar of hell”». What are the narrative threads presented in 240 pages? «There are two. On the one hand there is the perspective outside Italy where in 51 great stories I retrace some of the most significant episodes of this conflict in Europe. The consequences of which were devastating: 4.8 million Ukrainian citizens fled their country, forced to request refugee status for temporary protection in Europe. As many as 6.5 million Ukrainians were displaced.
If we add up, we find that 24 million people, more than half of the Brazil Phone Number Ukrainian population, needed and still need our help. The second perspective is the internal one within Italy. In writing the book in this case I involved the refugees welcomed in Milan by Progetto Arca , making them tell what happened and how they experienced it. It is estimated that 145,829 refugees arrived in Italy between February 2022 and July last year, monitored by the police. Of these, 84% are women and children: in their words, written in verse, there is all the drama of those who, from one day to the next, due to the war brought to Ukraine by Russia, have lost everything, from home to work, to family affection.
Why did you choose to give voice to the Ukrainian refugees who arrived in Milan? «Because with their words they stimulate us to raise our shields high to oppose this crazy war. I quote, for example, Caterina who says: “War, energy, money: the engine of all wars is money. But doesn't anyone think about human beings anymore?” . Or again: “This is when I panic! I think of my family, of my children first of all and, then, of my parents. February 24, 2022 was the beginning of the end for me ." What struck you most about these testimonies? «I was struck by their essentiality. The refugees have few words and many tears: they cry as much as they can, remembering what has happened and continues to happen.
