A film from the series Game of Fate.

Europe has opened wide doors for young artist Mykola Glushchenko to study art. Abroad, he was supported by Ukraine’s last hetman Pavlo Skoropadsky and former Prime Minister of the Ukrainian People’s Republic Volodymyr Vynnychenko. They instilled in the talented artist patriotic feelings for Ukraine, which he was forced to leave in 1918. Glushchenko seeks to return home. What was the return price?

The film is about the causes of Russian aggression and cruelty.

In the film, historians, foreign researchers and publicists, scientists and psychologists tell what caused the unmotivated aggression of Russians; how Asian descent and genes influenced the level of hatred of modern Russians; what ancient traditions caused the high level of domestic violence in Russia; how hazing in the army turned a Russian into a brutal executioner; how the church in Russia fostered obedience in its parishioners; how Russian rulers managed to blackmail people with food; when and why the idea that the Western world was the enemy first emerged in Russia.

On the first day of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian paratroopers began storming the Antonov airport in Hostomel with the help of several dozen helicopters. According to the Kremlin's plan, they were to take control of the airport so that transport planes with military personnel and equipment could land there and begin their offensive on Kyiv.

The first battle in Hostomel was fought by the National Guard of Ukraine, most of whom were conscripts and staff officers. The defenders of Hostomel repelled the first attack, destroyed the runway and prevented enemy aircraft from landing.

The heroes of the project are two rescuers from the State Emergency Service who were at the airport fire station that day. One of them became a prisoner of war, the other came under fire. Another hero is a member of the National Guard of Ukraine. He will tell the audience the details of the first battle for the airport and show the remains of Russian helicopters that stormed Hostomel. Antonov employees and residents of Hostomel will also share their memories of these events.
