Women-warriors is a big
topic in the narrative of post-soviet countries. There are many stories about
women patriots, warriors and martyrs in the history. Today we evidence the same
patern in the Ukrainian conflict.
After
the death of her husband Tatyana is trying to rise money for the Ukraine army.
Irina, the other heroe of the story, has joined the army and participated in
the millitary action, because "every decent person should defend his/her
country from Russian imperialism".
Women as heroes. The story
of a female pilot Savichenko, who is supposingly being captured and being
accused for war crimes in Russia, is being used by both sides of the conflict.
Women in the World Today are
very important players in the conflicts. Women role in the Ukrainian conflict
proves this statement, though in this story I have used only a few examples.
All of them show either - women can be used as a tool of propaganda, women can
be the actors in the conflict, and, the worst, women are almost always the
victims.
