Battlefield
We are in Korsun. The historic name for this place is a "boykove
pole", which in Ukrainian means a battlefield.
Second photo shows how this field looked in February 1944.
Photo is from painting of a soldier.
190.000 Soviet and German army men died in
Korsun and most of them on this field.
We have never been here before, so we got to
find the right place to dig, but whom to ask? Who remembers this
war? Trees? Old trees full of iron, they may remember, but they
don't speak.
The crows? By legend they live hundred years
and must remember their feast in winter 1944, but they don't
speak either.
Old man? He speaks, but he don't remember anything.
