Three years before the start of the «special operation» the orthodox priests were focused on the servicemen. In the sermons they were glorifying the President and so-called traditional values, talking about immortality of the soul and Kingdom of Heaven. What actually was an aim of that powerful campaign – to prepare Russian soldiers for sacrifice or… contingent for slaughter? It seems the third option was not considered.

Spitak is the city of the dead. Thirty years ago there was a terrible earthquake. Tens of thousands of people died, and the survivors seemed to be frozen in that time forever. Manukyan's father and son live next to a huge cemetery, and it seems as if some unknown force is preventing them from escaping from hopelessness and poverty.

The Pomors are the descendants of the ancient Novgorodians who left the power of the Moscow prince for the harsh forests of the Tersky coast in order to preserve their former freemen. Today they fish, farm and even plant forests. They will not exchange their harsh, difficult, but free life for any other.
