I remember very vividly the last Ukrainian elections in Donetsk in the spring of 2014. After the Russian occupation of the Crimea and the separatist protests, I wanted to go to the volunteer battalion "Donbass", but there were no more places in it. And I decided to work in the election commission for the early presidential elections in Ukraine and shoot everything on camera.

Mariupol is an industrial city on Azov sea. I went there as a young sailor 20 years ago. The places alive in my memory are mostly destroyed. The battle-line of the Russian-Ukrainian war is just nearby the city. In the night I can hear the bombing. However, I am looking for the miracle there.

The main exposition of the museum in Avdiivka was dedicated to the Caucasus. In 2015, exposition was partly destroyed due to a Russian projectile. But now in Avdiivka there is again a people's museum - a place where the most wonderful ideas come to life.
