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.
