'You know war is not a problem,” said one 4-year-old. “The problem is the stores are closed and there’s no candy left.”
, 4-year-old Bronco offered a child’s view of the situation there to the teacher of his Zoom art class.
In recounting this exchange to The Daily Beast, Litvak added that Bronco is an aspiring inventor who draws fantastic machines capable of dealing with a host of problems. “Maybe it was three weeks into war that she told me, tremblingly, ‘Do you know that we have been attacked and actually there is a war and they’re bombing us all the time?’” Litvak recalled.“Her drawing will be cats,” Litvak said. “Doesn’t matter what we’re doing, cats will be somewhere.”“Okay, we’re drawing in Africa,” she recalled telling the class one day.“What does burning airplane have to do with Africa?” Litvak asked.“Okay, we’ll show you how to draw burning airplane,” Litvak told him.
“He said, ‘It’s so many airstrikes, I will stay,’” Litvak recalled. “I said, ‘No, you need to go to the basement.’ He said, ‘No, parents are not here, I’ll stay.’”Litvak spent her own childhood in Odessa. She attended university in St. Petersburg and married a fourth-generation resident of that Russian city. The ascent of Vladimir Putin so alarmed her and her husband, Misha Kachman, that they emigrated to America in 1999.Litvak was teaching art at a suburban school outside of Washington, D.C.
Litvak contacted one of the platform’s organizers, Andreii Nikolaiev. The platform had been focused on mathematics, but he welcomed Litvak’s art classes. She usually has eight students in a class, though sometimes there are as many as 10.Some of the students at the in-person studio Litvak runs in America got a glimpse of the demeanor of the class in Ukraine.But she decided that this was not what the Ukrainian kids really required.The kids in Ukraine responded just as she hoped.
