During the week, Russians cynically attacked medics and hospitals, bombed a reservoir, and carried out assaults on civilian vessels. Over the weekend, tragedy struck in Kyiv: six people were killed in a shooting. Among the wounded was a boy whose parents were victims of the assailant.

Photo with history: The appeal of images — the confusion of reality
This image, taken out of context, stops me and interests me, but reality erases all aesthetic dimensions of the composition. It is difficult to talk about such pictures - like, not like. Of course, the composition attracts, the hunched bodies in a confined space touching each other, the flow of colors and the way the gaze slides from one man's back to the other, but I don't like the situation, the disgusting bodies and men's backs, their arms and over all their faces, which are not visible.
