According to official data, more than 900 soldiers of ATO / JFO participants committed suicide in Ukraine. From 2014 to 2019, more than 500 thousand people took part in the hostilities. Most of them have PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Many of them have mental disorders.
This phenomenon led us to an analogy with the episodes of the film "Apocalypse Today" by Francis Ford Coppola in which the special forces captain was sent to the jungle bordering Cambodia and Vietnam to find a crazy colonel who commands a detachment worshiping him. During the trip, many strange events take place with the captain, at the end of which he loses his sense of reality and ceases to understand what to do next.
The current military-political situation in Ukraine, the active militarization of Russia, does not provide guarantees for a peaceful future. We decided to present one of the worst scenarios.
Drawing an analogy with the film, Daniil Revkovskiy enters the role of a demented colonel who crossed the frontier and created a children's detachment of killers in the Kharkov region. Andrii Rachynskyi was ordered to liquidate Daniil Revkovskyi.
