Nona Shahnazarian · 2016

Catalogue summary

Interviews with Satenik, a senior lieutenant who led a medical battalion during the Nagorno-Karabakh war, trace her route to the front, encounters with violence, relationships with soldiers, and difficulty returning to restrictive postwar gender roles.

Why this matters

Her experience connects women's military participation in Artsakh to changing national identity and the temporary suspension of social expectations during war.
