Bywire Ukraine: Behind the Line with Zarina Zabrisky (Ep.6) from the streets of Kharkiv

LONDON (Bywire News) - As Zarina tries to get into Izium, closed by the police, she stays in Kharkiv, constantly under Russian shelling, and speaks to us from the streets about her visit to Odesa Mayor's office during a historic moment: the city applies for UNESCO World Heritage List inclusion. Zarina speaks to Odesa Mayor about history, the mistake of re-writing history, and what can go wrong. Monument to Catherine II at the center of heated debate about the imperial past. We also take you behind the curtain--and to the bomb shelter--of the famous Odesa Opera during the dress rehearsal of a Ukrainian opera staged during the war and speak to the director, choreographer, and the lead singer.
