Historian Yevhen Murza and comedian Feliks Redka visited the town of Sudzha to record a new episode of their long-running podcast series.

The pair are adamant that their visit to Russia was different from Russia ’s cultural policy in occupied Ukraine , under which Ukrainian museums have been destroyed or stripped of exhibits.

Many locals fled further into Russia after Ukraine 's incursion into Russia 's Kursk region a month ago .

In Sudzha , as in much of Russia ’s border region with Ukraine , many of the older people still speak Ukrainian .

Many families are scattered across both sides of the border, which has caused troubles for some in recent years .

Nadezhda, who was born there, lived there until she was 18 , but moved to the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv to go to university.
