SUMMARY:Covering Russia's Borderlands During War: A Talk by Journalist L
 evi Bridges
DESCRIPTION:Since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022\, millions of Ukrainian
  refugees and Russians fleeing their country's authoritarian government 
 have fled to former Soviet countries in Europe and Central Asia. Freelan
 ce journalist Levi Bridges of Sedgwick\, Maine\, has been reporting on t
 his migration for NPR and other news outlets from his base in the former
  Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan. Bridges is currently visiting Maine and 
 will give a presentation about life in Kyrgyzstan and how the Ukraine wa
 r has influenced the former Soviet countries near Russia's border.\n\n\n
 \nAbout the image shown here:Boys in western Uzbekistan play on old Sovi
 et ships in the dried-up Aral Sea\, which began running out of water bec
 ause of Moscow’s agriculture policies. The ongoing war in Ukraine has 
 highlighted the region’s fraught historical relationship with Russia.
