At this time, five weeks into the 2022 Ukraine invasion, this film is a rare gift. I just watched it on the YouTube channel DW Documentary. I am very grateful to Deutsch Welle, the German public broadcasting service, for providing it. I'm also extremely impressed by the work of Dmitry Bogolyubov. This is an intensely personal film, perhaps too painful for some. It does not contain violence of a graphic nature, but the effects of Putin's long reign on the town of Yelnya are what I would call a human tragedy.
