Few countries have suffered as much devastation as Ukraine since World War II, but the scale of the disaster has so far been too great to be fully grasped.

My colleague published The first comprehensive photo of the destruction. Through detailed analysis of years of satellite data, they have documented every town, every street, every bombed building. In some places, like the city of Marinka, not a single resident was left. Many people have lost more than just their homes. They have lost their communities and their histories.

“If I close my eyes, I can see everything from my past life,” said Iryna Hrushkovksa, 34, who was born and raised in the city. “But if I open my eyes, everything disappears.”

Scale of destruction: The number of buildings destroyed in Ukraine is greater than if all the buildings in Manhattan were razed to the ground four times. Parts of Ukraine look like Dresden or London after World War II, or Gaza after being bombed for half a year.

China's internet is disappearing en masse. Posts are being deleted and censored.

The country’s internet regulator found that there were 3.9 million websites by 2023, down from 5.3 million in 2017. A recent post on WeChat reported that nearly all information shared on the Chinese internet between 1995 and 2005 (news portals, blogs, forums, social media sites) is no longer available.

While archiving websites anywhere is expensive and difficult, Internet publishers in China have come under intense pressure to censor content under Xi Jinping’s leadership. Li Yuan writes in his column “New New World”.

Internet companies have more incentive to over-censor and make old content disappear by not archiving it.

Two weeks ago, documentary filmmaker Wang Nanluan searched her name on Douban, a film review website, but found nothing. “Some of the films I directed have been deleted and banned on the Chinese internet,” she said. “But this time, I feel like I’ve been erased as part of history.”
