— Announcement: NEW PRESS START CAMPAIGN
Vanishing lives: Moldova’s abandoned countryside
Our newest campaign is for a feature on Moldova’s dying villages by multimedia journalist Max Polyakov. Probably Europe’s poorest country, Moldova has lost hundreds of thousands of people since it broke free of the Soviet Union. Most working-age adults have left the countryside to go abroad or to the cities in search of jobs, leaving behind children and elderly. Schools and medical facilities have closed for lack of staff and there is an epidemic of loneliness among Moldova’s older rural residents. Max and his team want to create a visual treatment of the problem that includes input from experts on the subject as well as portraits of those affected.
