The nuclear power plant was completed in 1985 but never went online due to high costs and political concerns. Today, it is considered an investment ruin. Germany completely phased out nuclear energy by 2023. Permanent disposal sites for nuclear waste have not yet been found, and it is assumed that no disposal site will be operational until 2050.</image:caption>

"Forest bathing" involves deeply experiencing nature with all the senses and connecting with it through mindfulness. It can be booked as a seminar with a mindfulness instructor. It particularly resonates with individuals seeking an escape from the stress and routine of everyday work life. In the forests of the Harz region, two-thirds of the spruce trees have died in recent years due to monocultures, dry soil, and infestations by bark beetles.</image:caption>

Backhaus frequently utilizes private jets for business travel due to the efficiency gains. He publicly criticized the road blockades and paint attacks against private jets by the activist group “Letzte Generation.“ In an interview with the television channel ZDF, when asked about his responsibility towards future generations, he responded, "After me, the deluge, I have no children," and posed for a Twitter photo with a "F*CK YOU LASTGEN" sign in front of a private jet. For Backhaus, the innovations of entrepreneurs play a significant role in shaping a better future: "We must improve and become more efficient in everything. These products are gaining traction. Entrepreneurs should not be restricted, as they play a crucial role in shaping the future." The number of private jet flights in Europe increased by 63 percent in 2022.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In every detail of the natural beauty along the banks of the river Janja, a story is revealed, Thursday, December 12, 2024. The plant appears to be a wild rose species, likely from the Rosa genus. The compound leaves (with serrated edges), along with their arrangement and the slightly woody, thorny stem, are characteristic of wild rose shrubs. In northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rosa canina is a plausible identification, as it is widespread throughout Europe, especially in hedgerows and forest edges.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Water moves us, guiding the rhythm of every process within our being. By embracing its proper intake, you nurture the delicate balance of mind and body. Our essence is water—it forms about 60% of an adult's frame and as much as 70% of a child's, flowing through every cell of which we are made. The Janja River was once drinkable water to be cherished, quenching thirst until the end of 1980. It flows forever defiled, and its present state reflects what it has lost: part of the river that flows through the city of Ugljevik, the northeastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Monday, July 11, 2022.</image:caption>

Even then, the river’s appearance, water quality, and surrounding environment began to change. A toxic wastewater reservoir from the power plant feeds into the Janja River through subterranean waterways, as the reservoir sits at a higher elevation next to it than the river’s flow. Over all these years, this has resulted in the river being permanently and chemically polluted, leaving a lasting scar on its once-pristine waters, municipality of Ugljevik, in the northeast of Bosnia and Herzegovina.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A portrait of Brano Petrović, a man whose home stands on what was once the old path of the Janja River, Sunday, March 5, 2023. Between the two world wars, the river’s frequent flooding caused immense damage to the surrounding land. At that time, the Janja split into two branches before reuniting further downstream, creating havoc with every heavy rain. Brano recalls the stories told by his elders of a monumental effort by the entire region—an unprecedented gathering of people—to redirect the river into a single course. Together, they filled the secondary channel, reshaping the river and the land. Today, Brano’s house rests on that reclaimed ground, a quiet witness to the determination of a community that came together to tame nature, photographed in the village of Priboj, the northern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In the past, the Janja River would freeze over in its shallowest sections during the cold winters, Wednesday, January 25, 2023. These icy patches became natural skating rinks for the children of the nearby villages. Their laughter would fill the crisp air as they glided across the frozen surface, turning the river into a playground of joy and adventure. The ice, fragile yet enchanting, reflected the magic of simpler times when the river was not just a source of life but also a source of delight.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A portrait of Ana and Nina Manojlović, twin sisters, seated in their family home that turns its back to the Janja River, Saturday, December 10, 2022. For teenagers with modern interests, their connection to the river is faint, a relic of stories rather than experience. They cannot recall ever spending time by its banks, as the Janja has become unrecognizable—its once-inviting waters are now a source of unease. Their home is a blend of memory and change. Through the window behind them, the silhouette of an old railway bridge comes into view. Once traversed by the narrow-gauge train, Ćiro, it carried loads of coal from the Ugljevik mines, a symbol of industry and progress in its time. The train ceased its journey in the early 1970s, and the bridge now serves as a pedestrian crossing for locals moving between the river’s two sides.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A portrait of Cican Dragić, a man whose story intertwines tragedy, survival, and the vivid memories of simpler times by the Janja River, Sunday, November 27, 2020. At the end of the Bosnian civil war in 1995, desperation led him to fish using a hand grenade, a dangerous practice born out of necessity. He would detonate the grenade in the water, stunning or killing the fish, which he would then collect downstream in the shallow waters. The grenade failed to sink properly and exploded at the surface, injuring him. Despite his wounds, Cican managed to seek medical help and survive. As a child, Cican remembers those waters very differently. Summer Sundays were spent at the same spot with his grandfather, who would bury his aching limbs in the warm riverbank sand to soothe his rheumatism.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A serene detail unfolds in the fields near the Janja River as the land rests in quiet preparation for the next planting season, Monday, March 6, 2023. The soil, dark with moisture, holds the promise of new growth. Furrows slowly crisscross the field, a testament to human care and the timeless rhythm of agriculture. In this peaceful moment, the fields wait, poised to begin their cycle of renewal as nature and humanity continue their enduring partnership. The Janja waits its turn, it seems to hold its breath, lingering in the shadows of its former vitality, yearning for renewal. Its waters carry stories of life and loss, of abundance and decline, as it winds its way through fields and forests, villages and towns.</image:caption>

On the night of August 28-29, 2020, due to possible political persecution, Vesta and her husband Stas fled from Belarus to Kiev, Ukraine, which became their home. At the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022, they were considering the option of buying a house near Odessa and were preparing documents. On February 26, 2022, after Russia started a full-scale invasion, they went to Lviv but faced the problem of being unable to rent an apartment due to the fact that they are Belarusians. They spent a night in Lviv in the gym, where temporary housing was organized for those in need. When they crossed the border between Ukraine and Poland, Ukrainian border guards asked, “Where will you run away, Belarusians?”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The situation at the Bobrowniki border crossing (Poland - Belarus) during its closure for an unknown period. Bobrowniki, Poland. February 10, 2023. The Bobrowniki border crossing was closed by Poland in February 2023, following the trial and sentencing of Andrzej Poczobut, a Polish-Belarusian journalist and activist, to eight years in prison on politically motivated charges in Belarus. This decision further strained relations between the two countries. As of February 2023, the Brest-Terespol crossing remained the only operational border point for passenger traffic. The Kuźnica-Bruzgi crossing had already been closed in 2021 due to the Belarusian government orchestrating a migrant crisis, with thousands of asylum seekers attempting to storm the Polish border. The closure of Bobrovniki compounded difficulties for Belarusians fleeing political repression and for those traveling for work or supplies. It also affected Polish businesses dependent on cross-border trade, increasing isolation and exacerbating hardships on both sides of the border.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Gleb (18), call sign 'Sych' receives support from his girlfriend in Grojec, Poland, on November 24, 2022. Having joined the war as a volunteer fighter with the Kalinouski regiment in March 2022, Gleb left the front line in July 2022 due to shrapnel wounds and the psychological scars of war, including PTSD. Now, in recovery, Gleb faces an uncertain future, navigating the haunting memories of the battlefield and the struggle to rebuild his life. Gleb, like many Belarusian volunteer fighters, cannot return to Belarus, where they would face persecution and likely imprisonment for their involvement in the war. Instead, they seek refuge in countries like Poland, Lithuania, and Georgia, attempting to build new lives. However, the process is fraught with difficulty, as many feel abandoned by their home country and face challenges finding stability in their new environments. The situation is dire, with some former fighters struggling to adjust to civilian life and suffering from mental health issues. Tragically, several have taken their own lives or died in suspicious circumstances after returning from Ukraine, including cases in Lithuania. In December 2024, a Belarusian volunteer fighter was deported from Vietnam back to Belarus, highlighting the ongoing risks for those who fought for Ukraine's defense and are now targeted by Belarusian authorities.</image:caption>

On February 24, 2022, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya declared herself the representative of the Belarusian people and the guarantor of their rights and freedoms until new elections. Later, the Joint Transitional Cabinet (proto-government) was created. In 2.5 years, she made about 90 official visits and achieved significant international recognition and support by applying external pressure and seeking new sanctions on the Lukashenka regime and isolating him. However, during this time, due to the lack of a clear plan of action, some disagreements among the democratic forces, she has lost some influence on people inside the country, where Lukashenka continues to hold power through incessant repression, allowing for even greater integration with Russia and the provision of the country's territory for an attack on Ukraine.

      <image:caption>Artsyom, a Belarusian migrant, celebrates his 29th birthday at the "KARMA" bar in Warsaw, Poland, on 3 July 2022. Artsyom reflects on his journey as a "professional migrant," noting the constant displacement he has experienced. "I first fled to Ukraine two days after my home was searched, knowing it was unsafe. Once I settled there, the war began, forcing me to leave again, this time to Poland. A month later, I moved to Georgia for three months, awaiting a visa, before returning to Poland. On my birthday, surrounded by friends I hadn't seen in years, one of my closest friends, who I hadn’t seen much either, held me in their arms. Migration is not just about moving; it’s about the struggles of adapting to a new life. From learning a new language to navigating legalities and housing, it's a constant challenge. 'Normal' life seems like a distant concept, and sometimes you forget what that even means." The "KARMA" bar, originally from Minsk, closed in Belarus in 2021 due to political pressure. It opened in Kyiv but was forced to relocate again after the war started, eventually finding its new home in Warsaw and Gdansk.</image:caption>

In this performance, she portrays a typical representative of the authorities in Belarus, highlighting the tensions surrounding the political climate. In August 2020, nearly 60 members of the Kupala Theater, including artistic director Nikolai Pinigin, resigned in protest against the dismissal of director Pavel Latushko. Since then, only 15 members of the original cast have remained. The theater has periodically held castings to replace members, mostly recruiting new actors from the Institute of Culture. Today, the Kupala Theater presents only five performances on its main stage. Since the summer of 2020, over 800 figures from the Belarusian cultural scene have faced repression, with at least 98 individuals currently imprisoned, according to the Belarusian Rada of Culture.</image:caption>

December 9, 2022, Oslo, Norway. The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded jointly to Ales Bialiatski, the Russian organization Memorial, and the Ukrainian Center for Civil Liberties for their outstanding contributions to human rights and democracy. Ales Bialiatski, founder of the human rights organization Viasna, returned to Belarus in 2021 despite the high risk of detention, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the fight for democracy and human rights. Viasna has been a critical voice in documenting political repressions, supporting political prisoners, and advocating for civil liberties in Belarus. After his arrest, many other Viasna members were also detained, reflecting the broader crackdown on civil society organizations. Despite these challenges, Viasna and numerous other NGOs continue their work in exile, operating from outside Belarus to shed light on human rights abuses and provide support to victims</image:caption>

"Chili" is a Belarusian who has been living in Ukraine for 15 years. When the war began, he and his wife were in Lviv. They decided to relocate to Kyiv and turned their apartment in Lviv into a temporary shelter for refugees, providing a safe haven for those fleeing the conflict. The Kalinouski Regiment is one of the most prominent Belarusian volunteer formations fighting in Ukraine. Established in March 2022, it was named after Konstanty Kalinouski, a 19th-century Belarusian national hero who led an uprising against the Russian Empire. The regiment consists of Belarusians opposing the Lukashenko regime and Russian aggression, with many seeing the fight in Ukraine as directly tied to the struggle for Belarus’s freedom. Thousands of Belarusians have joined Ukraine’s Armed Forces, despite the risks of persecution or imprisonment if they return to Belarus.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Leon Basov, 29, showers with water from a half-cut plastic bottle on Feb 17, 2025. In early 2025, a halt in Russian gas transit via Ukraine led to a severe energy crisis in Transnistria, cutting off heating and hot water. While Moldova stepped in with temporary gas supplies, the long-term solution for stable and affordable energy access remains uncertain, with ongoing discussions</image:caption>

He dreams of leaving Transnistria to study in Scandinavia, a region he sees as more accepting.

Even Tiraspol’s former gay bar, a rare safe space, was shut down under unclear circumstances.</image:caption>
