>The changes brought on by the war in Ukraine have been divided into three distinct stages. Initially, there was a month of silence, where no one was sure what was happening and was simply waiting for the situation to be resolved. Afterwards, the realization set in that this war would last over a year, so the industry changed to helping its neighbors with volunteering and fundraising events. Finally, an element of international support emerged in the form of the Zelenska Foundation and United24.

I find that when I run events I end up creating notes for "next time" to iteratively improve. Events I run tend to be cyclical.

Do you organize information after an event from what you've learned, and if so, how do you incorporate what you learned from "last time"?

Have you experienced other stakeholders pushing back on changes that you are implementing because of your notes, but they think everything went fine?

I've had connections on LinkedIn even before the war of startup folks in Ukraine, and have greatly enjoyed knowing them. Are there any plans to have a big online conference of Ukrainian entrepreneurs or a tech conference?

Thank you for your question. The war in Ukraine has had a devastating impact on my family and many others. We have lost friends and family members, and many of us have had to flee our homes in search of safety. We have also seen our economy suffer and our infrastructure destroyed. It has been a difficult and heartbreaking time, but I am grateful for the support of the international community and the resilience of the Ukrainian people.
And I keep working, doing my job well to help those who in need. My current company donate over 500 000 ye. All this kindness keeps me on track.

  1. What kind of events do you manage and how has the war affected it?

  2. What were the difficulties that you faced due to war and how are you tackling it mentally and professionally?

I hope you are doing good. Stay safe!

I know it doesn't relate to your profession, but I am curious to hear how the war on Ukraine has impacted you and your family?

I feel like war often lacks humanity, and hearing impactful stories can often help put a face to the people that never had a choice to go to war. They just landed in the middle of hotzone.

I hope you get to experience it as well then!

There are disputes more frequently than crimes as far as I experienced, it’s not a Utopia by any means and humans are humans after all! In Siberia their justice system is divided by gender, so I never saw how the men held ‘court’. However, if two people could not come to an agreement, or a taboo was broken, the elders hold ‘court’. Depending on the seriousness more of the community becomes involved. I never witnessed anything serious. Amongst the Kazakhs I never experienced any crimes and only a minor dispute, so I can’t say much to it. It was very family centric, so issues usually went to the oldest grandfather. When I first got there however, from what I can tell, they were at the end of a lengthy crime by an uncle. A crime I think was pertaining to opium and mishandling the families goat herd (he lost some or traded it for opium? I came in as he was leaving). However the decision was made, I know multiple families were involved and ultimately they forced him to leave with nothing and his wife stayed in the family with her kids.
