Escape from Tarkov
This week's show is about people fleeing the violence sparked by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Now we turn to the refugee crisis said to be the fastest-growing displacement of people in Europe since World War II.
On the Media reporter Micah Loewinger brings us the story of a Twitch streamer named Pavel, who is known to his viewers as "Bobi." He was live-streaming from a military base in eastern Ukraine when he felt the earth move from a Russian attack. His reaction was captured in a now-viral clip, in which he can be seen giving an emotional goodbye to his viewers as he flees to his family. Over the next four days, Bobi and his family were guided through the war zone by two of his most devoted fans.
He and his family are now raising money for their humanitarian work in a rural village in Ukraine.
This is a segment from our March 11th, program, The Escape.
