Saints

Saints is a portrait series dedicated to the self-sacrifice of Ukrainians during the ongoing invasion of their country by neighboring Russia.

War doesn’t knock on your door asking if it can come in, it’s not warning you what will happen to your life, your family the life of your community, your village or town or your country. It won’t tell you what your future will look like. It knocks everything out; it takes everything away from you without warning, and it gives in return one thing - a chance for you to fight back. 

Ukrainians chose to fight back. Starting February 24th, 2022, millions of people in Ukraine have resisted the invasion of their country by Russia. Some streamed towards new front lines that stretched hundreds of kilometers on sea, land, and air, and some have chosen to dedicate their skills, whatever they might be, to help the country resist. 

This is a book about the personal sacrifice of people who chose to resist this brutal and barbaric invasion, happening in Europe in the 21st century as the whole World keeps watching. This is a project about godless sainthood.
