The meeting \u201cFrom Moldova to Bodaybo\u201d<\/strong> will focus on the fate of Moldovan citizens persecuted by the Soviet Union. The starting point for the discussion will be Mi\u0142osz Szyma\u0144ski\u2019s book \u201cWho Will Turn Out the Light?\u201d (\u201cKto zgasi \u015bwiat\u0142o?\u201d), based on accounts of people deported deep into the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author will talk about nighttime arrests, the deportation of entire families, weeks-long journeys in cattle cars, and life in exile\u2014in Siberian settlements and regions such as Bodaybo. It is a story told from the perspective of individuals: children, mothers, and families who were deprived of their homes, language, and sense of security, yet who struggled to survive despite everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, Mi\u0142osz Szyma\u0144ski will also present contemporary Moldova, showing how the experience of deportations and Soviet repression has shaped collective memory, identity, and the everyday lives of subsequent generations. His account is based on the author\u2019s many months of travel in Moldova, conversations with its residents, and observations of a country where the past continues to leave its mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi\u0142osz Szyma\u0144ski<\/strong> (born in 1988 in Pozna\u0144) is a Polish reporter and traveller who gained his first writing experience over many years while travelling across Moldova by train, bus, car, and bicycle. He initially studied law, but while working as a night watchman, he realised that his true passion was reportage and storytelling. After gaining professional experience in various fields, he decided to pursue writing seriously and graduated from the Polish School of Reportage. In 2019, he set out on a six-month journey across Europe and spent many months in Moldova, which became the foundation for his reportage and his first book, \u201cWho Will Turn Out the Light?\u201d (\u201cKto zgasi \u015bwiat\u0142o?\u201d), published in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
