The unrelenting war in Ukraine has forced hard decisions in communities that nurtured relationships with Russian cities. Some are pivoting to help refugees.
The head of a West Coast program had been in regular contact with his counterpart in Russia — and then all communication abruptly stopped.“When we got in touch again, she said she had been out of town for a while,” he said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of concerns for the woman’s safety. “It took me a while to learn she had been detained for speaking up against Putin. Speaking to Americans also became dangerous.
Several of the U.S.-Russia groups have found channels through which to assist Ukrainian refugees in Europe. “I remember a judge who had about 30 or so courts under him. He wanted to come because Russia was going to allow juries to decide on some crimes,” Buchanan recalled recently. “He lived in our house for two weeks, and we took him to courts. He wanted to make sure the citizens recognized their responsibility to jury. It was wonderful, and we became friends.”Those visits, research collaborations, even essay contests — none are possible while the war drags on, and perhaps for years to come.
