Lost Paradise. Viktor Maruniak
In the occupied territories, Russia systematically persecutes active members of their communities, village and town heads, and local volunteers. Viktor Maruniak, the village head of Stara Zburivka in the Kherson region, shares memories of his illegal arrest and the brutal torture inflicted on him by Russian soldiers. Eventually, Viktor and his wife Katia managed to evacuate and find a peaceful place in Latvia, where they reminisce about the paradise lost due to the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine.

The story of witnesses and survivors about the missile strike on the Kremenchuk "Amstor" shopping center. Surveillance camera recordings show a normal summer day at the shopping center around noon on June 27, 2022. Russia's strike on Kremenchuk was one of a series of deadly attacks on civilian objects, sending a clear message from the Kremlin: no place is safe.

The Kakhovka Dam
On June 6, Russians blew up the Kakhovka Dam in the Kherson region. Within eight hours, more than 50 villages and towns were submerged. Tens of thousands of people were affected by the disaster. Local ecologists, scientists from state institutions, and the General Prosecutor's Office joined efforts to investigate the Russian crime of ecocide. The story unfolds as Russia continues to shell the region, tries to kill investigators, and hides all evidence of this unprecedented environmental crime.
