by Hoha
Noha is a Ukrainian literary magazine exploring documentary writing through essays, memoirs, diaries, poetry and experimental texts about personal and collective experiences.
The second issue of Noha, published in June 2024, brings together texts written between 2021 and 2022, before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Darina Malyuk reflects on desire, loss and memory; Inesa Marg writes about the killing of an aged goat; Nazar Benytskyi recalls childhood, an orphanage and attempts to build an autonomous life on an island; Aliona Dumasheva continues her account of imprisonment in Russia and life in Vladimirskaya Colony; Anton Polunin offers a poetic testament; Liza Biletska recounts an encounter with a company offering elderly people “lifetime care” in exchange for apartment inheritance; and Philip Olenik shares stories of Nigerians and Ukrainians of Nigerian descent. Malyuk’s texts span 2020–2023. The cover features a visual work by Katia Libkind.
