The March-April 2026 issue of the Intent newspaper, founded by the Odesa regional organization of the NGO Committee of Voters, was published.

The Intent newspaper is a printed version of the Intent publication, in which we collect the most important materials. We distribute our newspaper free of charge.

This time, the issue will tell about the activities of the Odesa regional organization of the Committee of Voters of Ukraine.

The journalists also interviewed Stanislav Stryzheniuk, who spoke about Odesa in 1970 with underground exhibitions, censorship, and fear of speaking Ukrainian - 95-year-old poet Stanislav Stryzheniuk recalled writers' apartments, closed artistic circles, and summonses to party offices.

A former head of the Department of Culture, he recalls the exchange of theaters with Lviv and friendships with artists such as Mykhailo Bozhiy, Alla Krykun, Hennadii Harmyder, and the Kryzhevsky family, as well as meetings and conversations with Lina Kostenko, Pavlo Tychyna, Oles Honchar, Maksym Rylsky, Borys Necherda, and Mykola Vingranovsky. In his words, Odesa appeared not as an architecture but as a living organism-a city of people, stories, and losses, where poetry was a way to survive and not betray oneself.

The Center for Public Investigations has analyzed how the wealth of Odesa mayors has changed in their 2025 declarations
