When Russia attacked Ukraine on February 24, 2022, academic life and other social activities in Ukraine changed drastically. Scholars who either stayed in their cities or were forced to evacuate gained first-hand participant observation experience of war. Their teaching and research have been interrupted, but they continued to reflect on social, political, and economic events in Ukraine.

This book is a collection of personal reflections by scholars of different disciplines, offering a variety of perspectives on Russia's war against Ukraine. We immerse in the personal experiences and stories of researchers who reflect on their academic and analytical backgrounds--sociology, political science, international relations, and literature. This unique collection offers not only fascinating and shocking insights from Ukrainian citizens but also the thoughts and reflections of scholars of several fields that help us better understand the situation in Ukrainian society during the war.
