13 Stories of War is the first book published by Ukrainian Warchive, to mark the second year of the full-scale Russian invasion.
The book features individual visual essays created by 13 Ukrainian photographers and artists, each with a companion text.
"Through our collaboration with Misha Pedan, co-editor of the book, our goal was to highlight the authors' personal ties to the moments they captured in these projects. Despite the backdrop of ongoing military violence, these documentary photographers and artists have been courageously living, working, and sharing the realities of Ukraine with the world since the Russian invasion. As the photo editor, curating these powerful photo stories brings home the photographers’ resilience and resistance. Each essay varies in approach, style, and subject matter. We chose to pair each essay with personal texts to convey rawness and immediacy." - Emine Ziyatdinova, co-editor of the book and co-founder of the Ukrainian Warchive.

All photographs are part of the Ukrainian Warchive (Ukrainian Photo Archive of War), a digital archive that collects and preserves still images from professional photographers documenting the Russo-Ukrainian War. The project aims to protect the photographic heritage and memory of the war and support Ukrainian photographers documenting the events in Ukraine.
