‘If it hurts, you’re alive!’ says Vladislav, as he shows by his own example: even a severe wound is not a verdict. His story is in an excerpt from our documentary, 'Walking After War.’ It gives a compassionate look at the injured Donbass veterans who don’t give up and build plans for the future.

June 22 is Day of Remembrance and Sorrow in Russia and post Soviet countries. Eighty-two years ago, Nazi Germany attacked the USSR which eventually led to the death of 27 million Soviet citizens in what is known in Russia as the Great Patriotic War - the bloodiest in history.
The conflict ended with the defeat of Germans and a stunning victory of the Soviet military. Today, however, the story of how the Red Army saved Europe from the Nazis is being wiped from Western history books. Soviet soldiers are increasingly being portrayed as oppressors and occupiers rather than the rightful saviours. Why is recent history being rewritten?

Abkhazia: the long road to statehood for Georgia's former province
Once a Soviet republic and then an autonomous province within Soviet Georgia, Abkhazia has always aspired to independence. Abkhazians say the Soviet system forcibly incorporated their land into Georgia, with their culture, language and national identity suppressed by discriminatory policies.
Today, locals say getting back on their feet is now more important than international recognition, as the fledgeling nation is struggling to recover, its survival funded by meagre fruit exports and a slow but steady stream of Russian tourists.

💭‘I went about seeking the return of it, and I basically requested it. And that was very clearly and rather abruptly rejected,’ says Jarat Chopra, International Lawyer and the descendant of Punjabi Kings.
He explains how the British colonialists in the Middle of the XX century dealt with his ancestors and took out treasures, among which was a personal sword. Now, when Mr. Chopra tried to return the family heirloom from the British Museum, he was categorically refused.
‘They basically explained that this was a war trophy. And in addition to that, they said: 'Well, if we give this back, why shouldn't we give everything else back? And if we don't give everything else back, why should we give this back?' And to me, that's a very false logic,’ he makes this conclusion.
