“We're ordinary people in an extraordinary situation.”
Slava Leontyev is a former member of the Ukrainian Special Forces. He, his wife Anya, and their friend Andrey – all artists – chose to remain in Ukraine during the war. Despite extreme hardship and the fight for survival, they find moments of inspiration, beauty, and humanity.
Leontyev’s new film, “Porcelain War,”* is a powerful, inside look at the lives of civilians (including civilian soldiers) during the war. This hour, we’re joined by Leontyev, co-director Brendan Bellomo, and a member of RocMaidan to discuss the film, the state of the war, and how they are working to prevent the erasure of Ukrainian culture.
Our guests:
- Slava Leontyev, co-director of “Porcelain War,” artist, and former solider with the Ukrainian Special Forces
- Brendan Bellomo, co-director of “Porcelain War”
- Elena Dilai, board secretary for RocMaidan
*Note: “Porcelain War” opens at the Little Theatre on January 10.
