Donbass: Echoes of War

Ukrainian nationalists bring back to Donbass horrors reminiscent of World War II

Eighty years ago, in 1943, Donbass was liberated from the Nazis. Here, fierce battles were waged, daring resistance groups emerged, and heroic deeds unfolded on the front lines. The sheer courage of the Soviet fighters has become an example for the modern defenders of Donbass, who stood up to protect the homeland from the Ukrainian invaders. Witness how the legacy of World War II continues to shape present-day Donbass.
