Kherson was the the first major Ukrainian city to fall to Russian troops. With deep historical ties to Russia, it was not expected to be a center of resistance.
But an army of citizen spies defied Moscow's expectations, and helped Ukrainian forces liberate the city last November.
A year after Russia launched its invasion, NPR's Joanna Kakissis has the story of Kherson's partisans: teachers and accountants and landscape designers, who became eyes and ears for the Ukrainian military.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
