«To serve a criminal regime or not is a matter of conscience.» Alexey and Masha Moskalyov — on war, emigration, and moral choice
Last Saturday, the Paris resource center Espace Libertés Reforum Space hosted a presentation of Ksenia Kirillova’s poetry collection, illustrated by Masha Moskalyova, «A Hillock on Canvas.» This is the first release of the Most.Media publishing program, the first publication experience for the 16-year-old artist, and the first in-person meeting of all participants in the creative process. At the public talk, together with Masha’s father, Alexey Moskalyov, we discussed creativity in political emigration — as well as the circumstances that led all participants in this discussion into emigration: the war in Ukraine and the repression in Russia against its opponents. We are publishing an abridged transcript of our conversation for easier reading.
