Russia's war with Ukraine has been going on for six months. Among the Russian republics, Buryatia was almost immediately among the regions with the highest number of dead servicemen. Cemeteries here are full of fresh graves of soldiers. Funeral parcels and zinc coffins arrive in Buryatia almost every day since 24 February 2022. More than 300 dead only officially. The government of Buryatia is counting the heroes. Four new Heroes of the Russian Federation, more than a dozen orders of courage - posthumously.
This is a film-reflection from the stories and thoughts of the loved ones of the new "war heroes", supplemented by the reality of their lives in one of the most depressed regions of Russia.
