Avdijivka - Living in the Fog of War  

Avdiyivka, November 2019 (territory controlled by Ukraine)

Nikolai Yefimovich (81) was in times the Soviet Union construction workers and has worked throughout the Soviet Empire. Today he lives together with his son in his cottage in a quarter that is under constant fire. Four 152mm grenades have hit around his house, two on the left, two on the right. Smaller ones Calibres landed in his garden, where he grows his vegetables. He mourns the Soviet era, in to which many values would still have applied. He too would like to see a speedy end to the war.
