In Palestine, it is hard to find resident women filmmakers as the Palestinian people are so dispersed in exile throughout the world, and finding the means to make films inside the Occupied Territories is extremely difficult. Mai Masri, a Palestinian resident in Lebanon, was the first woman to start to make films about Palestinians in refugee camps throughout the Middle East. She is one of the pioneers of Palestinian documentary and especially of the trend that has become dominant in Palestinian filmmaking: a focus on children’s experience of Palestine. Her films illustrate how the struggle for a national identity in Palestine is often mixed with the struggle for personal, physical freedom. Motherhood, wifehood and womanhood are politicised identities in Palestine. In her earliest films such as Children of Shatila (1998) and Frontiers of Dreams and Fears (2001), she offers up children’s perspectives to illustrate the politicisation of even the most unlikely participants in the struggle against oppression. A child’s perspective is portrayed as a struggle with the past and the future that is on-going, as the child represents the hope as well as the hopelessness of the Palestinian cause.

The armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, which has been going on since 2014, caused severe consequences for our state. Besides killing and injuring dozens of thousands of Ukrainian citizens, expelling hundreds of thousands of people from their homes, seizing and destroying infrastructure, Russia has inflicted large-scale environmental damage in the occupied territories. Thus, as a result of the occupation of Crimea, the situation with fresh water on the peninsula is rapidly deteriorating, which can significantly change the ecosystem in the future. In addition, the warfare launched by the aggressor against Ukraine in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions caused serious environmental and man-made consequences, among which the main are pollution of groundwater and surface water, flooding of mines, subsidence, air pollution, destruction of agricultural lands, destruction and damage of nature reserves, forest fires, etc. Ignoring the environmental threats caused by Russian armed aggression can lead to catastrophic aftermath in the future. To prevent this scenario, an effective response is needed not only from Ukraine but also from the entire international community.

The introduction starts with the question that drives the book: why, and under what circumstances states launched settlement projects in occupied territories, during the era of decolonization. It explains what is meant by settlement projects: a sustained clusters of policies that allow states to strategically plan, implement and support the permanent. It offers a preliminary view of the answer: states embarked on these projects in order to secure permeant territorial expansion into contested territories. Specifically, the projects were aimed to help states manipulate expected interactions in the international arena that were to determine the future of these regions. The introduction highlights the contributions of the book and presents the plan of the book. It also presents the universe of cases, both post 1960 expansionist occupations, and within them, those that included a settlement project.

In the article author reviews ideological approaches and practical application of the “sobornist” of Ukraine concept by the State Center of Ukrainian People’s Republic (UNR) in exile. The views of leadership of the Ukrainian government in exile about “sobornist” are examined in the context of their debates with the emigrant political opponents and rivals in the occupied territories. Despite different conceptions of restoring Ukraine’s independence in the future, the UNR government’s emigration center was united in the idea that Ukraine would be consolidated into one state only when the Ukrainian government established control over Kyiv and the Dnieper region. Ideas of restoring independence of certain regions were considered unrealistic and harmful. The obstacle in establishing cooperation between the State Center of UNR and various political groups, including regional ones, was the consequences of the signing of the 1920 Warsaw Pact by the Directory of the UNR. The author also looks at the policies of the State Center of UNR in the international arena toward protection of rights of the Ukrainians during “pacification” in Poland (1930) and emergence of the Carpathian Ukraine (1938-1939). It is argued that reframing the concept of “sobornist” of Ukraine in the process of restoring Ukraine’s independence was a complex endeavor, which hindered consolidation of the emigrant Ukrainian parties in the years between two world wars.
