Armenians, Germans, Meskhetians, Jews, Romanians, Swedes – Ukraine is home to dozens of different peoples. Reporter Olesya Yaremchuk visited many settlements, from bustling cities in the Donbas and Bukovina to quiet villages of Bessarabia and Transcarpathia, to document how our national minorities live today and what memories about their past they preserve. The book "Our Others. Stories of Ukrainian Diversity" includes fourteen stories of individuals and peoples who make up the Ukrainian community.

The book "Our Others" is an attempt to tell the Ukrainian readers about the communities that are on the verge of different identities, languages ​​and cultures. The idea of ​​a project on national minorities arose at the end of 2015, and the first texts – in September 2016. Over the last three years, the online magazine "The Ukrainians" has published nine articles that are available on the site in a multimedia format.
