Artem Cheremysov is an internally displaced person from the town of Dniprorudne, Zaporizhzhia region. In the first days of the occupation, chaos gripped the town. A few months later, more than half of the community left Dniprorudne, including Artem's family. They left under fire. At first they stayed in Dnipro, then moved to Zaporizhzhia.

In 2023, the Museum of Civilian Voices held an all-Ukrainian essay competition called My Ukraine.  Participants submitted four thousand creative works. Artem joined the project and became one of the best authors.
