20 Months in Russian Captivity: The Story of Mariupol Defender Oleksandr “Demon”

Source: Suspilne

Oleksandr “Demon” Demenko—a defender of Mariupol—spent 20 months in Russian captivity. He recounts his experiences with a touch of irony. His example reminds us that even in the worst situations, it’s possible to find light and inspiration, as well as the ability to laugh at the absurdity of life.

The project “Nostos. Return of the Heroes” is dedicated to our veterans and features the veterans themselves—men and women who need our support and for us to be a pillar of strength for them during these turbulent times. These are nine stories of people who may not always have visible physical wounds, but whose life journeys and experiences are certainly on a completely different level.
