Post-apocalyptic chronicles the village of Velyka Komyshuvakha near the city of Izium, Kharkiv region, in the East of Ukraine.
The inscription of the unknown with its allusion to Faust on the wall of a ruined house jumps out of nowhere. It seems that the moment has stopped here forever but not from happiness and fullness of life, quite the opposite. Here you can hear the silence that comes after great battles. It is difficult to predict what it will give rise to: death or life. But the first word in this message, “Don`t” was probably added by those who did not agree that this state of affairs should last forever.//QUINTANA_sipa.18948/Credit:Federico Quintana/SIPA/2312071550
