The project “Photodocumentarians at the forefront: supporting Ukrainian photographers and their projects” is a microgrant program from the UAFF that helps support Ukrainian documentary photographers who risk their lives to tell the truth about the war in Ukraine.
Today we begin to share a series of documentary works of 10 finalists, namely the project of Alexander Rupeta.
The sea is gone
Locals called the reservoir the sea. A huge project in Soviet times was planned as the largest reservoir in the world. 230 km long and up to 25 km wide, it was one of those large Soviet projects that did not take into account any harm to the environment or human lives. When the reservoir was filled, the water buried under it the territory of Veliky Lug, the most important historical legacy of the formation of the Ukrainian Cossacks.
However, over 65 years, most of the south of Ukraine, urban infrastructure and agriculture, became dependent on the existence of a water reservoir.
On June 6, 2023, after the explosion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power plant by the Russians, the water from the reservoir left. The Kakhov Sea ceased to exist.
The question of the future fate of the hydroelectric power plant is complex. Ecologists and historians advocate for the preservation of the historic territory of the Big Meadow. But now even being on the shore of the former repository is a threat, the left side of the Dnieper along the reserve is occupied by Russian troops and shelling continues daily, destroying coastal settlements, causing casualties among the population.
Oleksandr Rupeta— documentary photographer from Ukraine, working all over the world. He is mainly interested in social anthropology and social conflicts, paying special attention to the individual. Oleksandr is a member of the International Federation of Journalists, the Federation of European Photographers, the Independent Media Trade Union of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers (UAPP).
The program is supported by the International Press Institute.
