Timeline

1987

Oksana Shachko (Оксана Шачко; 31 January 1987 – 23 July 2018) was a Ukrainian artist and activist.

Along with Anna Hutsol and Alexandra Shevchenko, she was one of the founders of the radical feminist activist group Femen, which publicly demonstrates in various countries against sexual exploitation, income inequality, and policies of the Roman Catholic Church, among other causes.

Oksana Chatchko was born in Khmelnytsky, a typical Soviet town in the western part of Ukraine, in an Orthodox Christian family.

Her parents both worked in a factory and when the Soviet Union collapsed, the factories closed and they both lost their jobs, in the context of a political and economic crisis.

1995

In 1995, at the age of 8, Chatchko joined the Nikosh school, normally intended for adults and renowned for its teaching of Orthodox iconography.

She graduated from this school and her early artwork was exhibited in several collective exhibitions in Ukraine and in the United States.

At the age of twelve, she started painting frescoes, working in the Orthodox church full-time.

She then expressed the desire to join a convent and become a nun, but her mother and her family convinced her not to do so.

Later, at the age of 14, she rejected the Orthodox Church and religion and became an atheist, believing that the Orthodox priests behave more like merchants than God's representatives.

She continued to paint to earn a living.

2000

In 2000, she joined the free university of Khmelnytsky to study philosophy, which triggered a deep crisis of conscience.

At this time, she started feeling upset about the lack of space devoted to women to express their ideas and their creativity.

She founded with other students the "Center for New Perspectives", an organisation fighting against corruption and for student rights.

At this point, she met Anna Hutsol and Aleksandra Shevchenko.

She later indicated in the documentary film I am Femen that this experience forged her political and philosophical conceptions, making her become an activist fighting for women's rights and freedom of expression.

2008

In 2008, together with Anna Hutsol and Alexandra Shevchenko, Shachko founded the feminist activist group FEMEN.

The group initially protested about issues affecting women students but rapidly moved on to demonstrating against the sexual exploitation of Ukrainian women and against sex tourism in 2008.

2009

Initially, FEMEN gained attention by demonstrating while dressed in underwear: however, in August 2009, Shachko bared her breasts at a protest in Kiev.

Since then, FEMEN activists have regularly protested topless and broadened their agenda to women's rights and civil rights in Ukraine and around the world.

Members of FEMEN, including Shachko, were detained on numerous occasions.

2011

Probably the worst episode happened in 2011, when a group of activists demanded the release of political prisoners in the Belarusian capital Minsk.

Shachko and two other women were kidnapped by the Belarusian KGB, taken to a forest, made to strip, doused with oil and threatened with being set on fire.

2013

Shachko worked together with French writer Galia Ackerman who produced a history of FEMEN which was published by Calmann-Lévy in 2013.

France granted her political refugee status in 2013, after several attacks by security forces connected to Vladimir Putin, a target of FEMEN protests along with the French Front National.

She lived in Paris, working as a painter.

At the time of her death, Shachko was concentrating on her artworks, called Iconoclast: Orthodox icons painted in the traditional method, onto which she introduced transgressive details to confront religious dogma with feminist, political or humanist messages.

2014

In 2014, the award-winning documentary film about Shachko, Je suis Femen (I am Femen) by filmmaker Alain Margot was released.

2016

Shachko had her first solo exhibition in Paris in May 2016.

2018

Shachko was found dead in her apartment in Paris, France, on 23 July 2018.

She was 31.

Anna Hutsol told Ukrayinska Pravda that friends were awaiting an official report.

It was reported that she hanged herself.

2019

Elle profiled Shachko on 1 February 2019.

In that profile, they reported that she had made another attempt to hang herself several years earlier.
