Ukrainian Woman On The Life Inside Gulag | Minutes With |

Ойын-сауық

In this episode of Minutes With we sat down with amazing Ivanna Maszczak, who spent 7 years in Gulag labor camp in remote part of Siberia during Soviet times.
Ivanna shared with us how she was arrested for being part of Ukrainian independence movement, what was it like to travel 11,000 km from home to the labor camp, what were the days there like and what she thinks about the current Ukrainian fight for freedom.
This is the first Minutes With interview conducted in a foreign language and subbed.
Thanks so much to Ivanna for taking part.

    The Russians occupied Poland in the East during WWIII. That’s not deep influence. That’s violent aggression. Also, it’s highly likely that this was filmed before the invasion of Ukraine.
