My name is Irina Soloveva, and I am currently living in the Netherlands as a refugee from Russia, where I had to leave due to my public opposition to the regime and the war in Ukraine.

Together with my father, Alexander Solovev, we organized advocacy efforts and even ran an experimental basic income project in Pavlohrad, Ukraine (my Motherland). Here is information about it and Wiki, but only in Russian version please click here.

We also created and moderated several Facebook groups that continue to gather people around the idea of unconditional basic income:
Now, living in the Netherlands, I would love to find ways to connect with local basic income organizations and communities. I believe this vision is more important than ever — and I would like to stay useful to the cause.
