Janusz Panchenko is a researcher of Romani culture and language, a civil activist, an ethnographer, and a historian. He is a Romani by origin. Janusz was born in Kakhovka, in Kherson Province. He was one of those who survived the Russian occupation in his hometown. He saw the Russian military invade the city, smashing people’s doors in, robbing people of their property, breaking, entering, and destroying everything. They also occupied the building of Romano Tkhan Roma Centre in Kakhovka which Janusz and his fellow activists had only founded a year before.

Journalists of the “Jianes” mass media outlet have talked to Romani health care professionals from different parts of Ukraine and have gathered their stories.
