Marking 365 days since the Russian invasion of Ukraine by re-visiting the second object ever donated to our Physical Objects Collection: a 1988 Ukrainian AM/FM radio donated by Dr Kate Yonova-Doing, which was handed over to our care by her husband Karel on 16 Dec 2015. We express solidarity with the Ukrainian people and hope a peaceful resolution ends this horrific war soon.
