Anna Lodygina is a Ukrainian journalist, researcher, and author of the Back to the Roots project. In the past, she served as editor-in-chief of the online magazine ELLE Ukraine, as well as working as a production editor for the Donbass.Realities project on Radio Liberty and as a journalist on Channel 5.
In 2022, Lodygina created the English-language travel show Back to the Roots, which airs on the Polish TVP World channel. The project tells about prominent Ukrainians who have influenced European culture and emphasizes Ukraine's close cultural ties with Europe.
In 2025, her first book, "Stories of Ukrainian Artists. Oleksandra Exter," was published, which opens a series of biographical publications about Ukrainian artists of the 20th century. In this book, Lodygina seeks to show Exter not only as an outstanding artist, but also as a living person with her experiences, doubts, and decisions, which makes her closer to the modern reader.
