Scott Mc Kiernan presents zReportage.com Issue #1017 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY December 9, 2025: ‘Spray-Painting The Resistance’ by ZUMA Press photographer Gaby Schuetze: Before the full-scale invasion, Kyiv’s graffiti scene revolved around rooftops, metro tunnels and the city’s sprawling train yards. Crews like ETC (Erase The City) spent nights painting commuter trains and walls across the city. It was a loud, competitive and illegal subculture with its own rules and rhythms. When Russia attacked in February 2022, that world shut down overnight. Curfew emptied the streets, trains stopped running normally, and the danger of simply being outside changed completely. Many graffiti artists dropped everything. Some left the country. Some joined the military. And a small group redirected their skills into something entirely different. Welcome to ‘Spray-Painting The Resistance’
