Victoria Amelina, a novelist and children's author, was transformed by Russia's invasion of Ukraine into a humanitarian and war crimes researcher. During the conflict, she assisted in evacuation efforts and gathered vital resources for those in need. Determined to document stories of women impacted by the war, she began writing 'Looking at Women, Looking at War.' Tragically, Amelina died in a missile strike in June 2023, just before completing her work. Her colleagues later worked to assemble a publishable version of her manuscript, blending her writing with additional materials to honor her legacy.
Victoria Amelina transitioned from novelist to humanitarian and war crimes researcher following the invasion of Ukraine, aiming to document women's experiences during the conflict.
