Women’s Partisan Movement “Zla Mavka”
Zla Mavka is an all-female Ukrainian non-violent resistance movement that emerged in the occupied city of Melitopol in early 2023. After Moscow’s all-out invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 three brave Ukrainian women decided that they had had enough of living under occupation.
It was time to resist.
The group is named Mavka after the female spirit from...
Russians should look around,
Because they never know that Mavka is next to them. It must be scary for them to court, because who knows how their evening will end and what surprise awaits them after “nice communication”

Zla Mavka’s news
Not all residents of the occupied territories of Ukraine have access to the true news of Ukraine and the world. Our Mavky launched a weekly newspaper with real news, which is distributed in the occupied cities. Yes, the Mavkas are fighting against Russian propaganda, with which the occupiers are trying to poison our people.
Do not anger Ukrainian women
One of us draws very well, she created the first poster "The occupiers got it, don't make Ukrainian women angry." We started hanging it. The reaction was quick: the Russians got angry and immediately tore down the posters.
There was no way to hang them on the administrative building: the center of Melitopol is almost closed, there are patrols everywhere, there are a lot of soldiers. That's why we hung them where we could.
Christmas campaign “Occupant, beat feet!”
Our new Christmas promotion is "Occupant! Time to beat feet from Ukraine!".
We continue to offer the occupiers safe ways to return to their "trans-Ural" lands. And skiing is a cool option. The Ukrainian Armed forces will not offer such a chance.
