The Destruction of Ukrainian Childhood

Inside Russia’s mass abduction and reeducation of Ukrainian youth.

The Renew Democracy Initiative and The Next Move are excited to bring you Older/Wiser with Linda Chavez. Linda is a veteran of multiple presidential administrations, author, and columnist.

In our latest installment, Linda is joined by Katya Pavlevych, an advocate for Ukrainian children who serves as an advisor at Razom for Ukraine and the founder of Forget Us Not, a non-profit that works to bring home children abducted by Russia.

Linda and Katya discuss the kidnapping and indoctrination of Ukrainian children amid Russia’s war against Ukraine. From mass transfers and coerced adoptions inside Russia to the militarization of youth in the occupied territories, they explore how this conflict extends far beyond territory, to the fight for Ukraine’s identity and future.

In a world of doomscrolling and daily outrages, Older/Wiser will showcase the big-picture perspective that comes with Linda’s five-plus decades in politics.
