Igor Kuzmenko

I'm Igor Kuzmenko. I'm from Ukraine. I started to filming from 2010, after I graduated from Budapest video advocacy training. I worked a several years alone and I made about 100 videos for this period of time, but since November, 2015 I started to work for DUNews. Actually, DUNews is two personality, united by a common goal: to end the war on drugs. That's it. All the rest doesn't matter.

Mariupol. The city that was killed

May 16, 2023 | Author: Igor Kuzmenko

This is the story of Natasha Kaluzhskaya, a patient in an opioid substitution programme in Mariupol, Ukraine. Mariupol was completely destroyed by the Russian army in 2022. Under the bombs, Natasha rescued people who were using drugs. She managed to survive. And today she stands as a witness to the crimes of war in Ukraine.

LIFE UNDER OCCUPATION – Part V. We kept watching

May 4, 2023 | Author: Igor Kuzmenko

We wanted to remember it, to make sure it would never be forgotten. On 29 August, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an operation to liberate the right bank of Kherson Oblast. And despite the regime of silence imposed by the General Staff, despite the disgusting communications, good news reached us from time to time.

LIFE UNDER OCCUPATION – Part IV. The ground was burning under their feet

April 24, 2023 | Author: Igor Kuzmenko

Summer came to Kherson, with thick morning mists and frog concerts at night. Sweet cherries, juicy apples, and all of the many things that the soil generously provides began to appear. And with them came blackouts and mobile phone disconnection.

LIFE UNDER OCCUPATION – Part III. Substitution therapy under fire

April 3, 2023 | Author: Igor Kuzmenko

Time passed. The occupation continued. As spring came, the situation in the city hardened. The Russians began to behave more brazenly and defiantly, and gradually life turned into a chronicle of violence and crime. 

LIFE UNDER OCCUPATION – Part II. Under the power of the Dementors

March 27, 2023 | Author: Igor Kuzmenko

Imagine for a moment that you have been deprived of the ability to do the usual routine things; to leave the house whenever you like, to walk wherever you like, to go to the cinema, museums, or the theatre, to drink coffee with friends at the corner café, to buy something at the shop, to go to a neighbouring town or to another country. When – in one moment – you find yourself under occupation, you lose everything that your life consisted of.

LIFE UNDER OCCUPATION – Part I. The day that changed our lives

March 20, 2023 | Author: Igor Kuzmenko

We found out about the war on the morning of 24 February. All the news channels were screaming about it. We were literally crushed by the news: missile attacks on Kiev, Odessa, Dnipro, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk… At the same time gigantic military columns were heading towards Kiev, Kharkiv, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Odessa…

The Maternity Hospital as a Place of Punishment.

January 27, 2022 | Author: Igor Kuzmenko

Pregnancy and the birth of a child is a bright, big, and important event. It’s about the laws of the universe and love. But, in the opinion of many medical professionals, women living with drug addiction in Ukraine have no right to it. If you choose to inject, you deserve to die.
