Bohdan is an airfield service employee at #Hostomel Airport, which was the site of heavy fighting at the very start of the war. For three weeks, he and his family lived in the basement of their apartment building, right across from the occupied airport. The building, which came under heavy fire at times, was occupied first by Chechen riot #police, then by an airborne assault unit from #Omsk. In mid-March, all of the basement’s inhabitants were forcibly taken to #Belarus. Bohdan told Meduza his story.
