In particular, its support is addressed to the participants of the women's guerrilla movement "Evil Mavka". "Evil Mavka" is a Ukrainian guerrilla non -violent resistance movement, which was founded in the temporarily occupied city of Melitopol of Zaporizhzhya region. It was created in 2023, when three brave Ukrainian women decided that it was enough to live under occupation: it was time to resist. The movement was named in vain: the symbolism originates from Ukrainian mythology.

Mavka is a creature close to a mermaid, in the form of an attractive woman dressed in a white shirt and with long loose hair. Mavka is also the heroine of one of the most famous works of Ukrainian author Lesya Ukrainka "Forest Song". According to the founders, Mavka is the embodiment of women's Ukrainian power and strength. The guerrilla movement works online and offline - on the ground occupied by Russia after the start of a full -scale invasion in 2022.

Movement activists place posters, ads, postcards and other important materials on the occupied settlements. "Mavka will come to the occupants under the skin. Activists say they will act until all Russian invaders are expelled from Ukraine. It is worth noting that various guerrilla movements are active in the occupied territories.

The Russians are opposed by even Ukrainian teenagers who founded a book club in the occupation at a time when the occupying power destroys books and does not give them study of Ukrainian literature and history, as The Guardian said. There are also guerrillas in the occupied territories that collect important information and break Russian sites.
