Chapter IV: Mesiya

WARNING: This episode contains content that may prove too disturbing for some of our listeners, and as such listening discretion is advised. Though this series is a work of fiction, given the present crisis in Europe between Russia and Ukraine, it is imperative that the horrors of the past never be forgotten, especially when the aggressor and victim are the same nations 90 years ago, and today. Real people lived through this. As Mark Twain once said, History may not repeat itself, but it certainly does rhyme.
