Una campaña para cambiar el nombre de las calles y retirar estatuas asociadas a la Rusia imperial está dividiendo a Odesa, cuya identidad está ligada a su historia. El escritor Isaak Bábel está conmemorado en un acto de pensamiento creativo, con los ojos en el horizonte y la pluma apoyada en una pila de papel, en una estatua de bronce en el centro de Odesa, su ciudad natal en la costa ucraniana del mar Negro. La estatua podría ser desmantelada en breve.

It was late at night and Anton Telegin was driving toward a sprawling coal mine near Ukraine's eastern front line, using darkness to evade Russian attack drones. Mr. Telegin had come to collect wages for himself and some fellow miners, as he did at the end of every month. But this trip, on the day after Christmas, felt different: Russian troops were at one of the far gates of the mine, and he wondered whether it would be his last trip to the place where he had worked for 18 years.
