Description

This artwork related to the current events is symbolic and should not be taken literally. I know that the Ghost of Kyiv is just an urban legend without any credible proof of their existence. The artwork’s sole purpose is the acknowledgement and celebration of the heroism of ordinary Ukrainian people, be it soldiers, territorial defense, or simple civilians, who did not give up when faced by the unprecedented attack of a much stronger opponent. These brave souls who did not succumb to the rule of the tyrant, but instead rose up and have been using every last bit of courage, ingenuity and blood to defend their country, their loved ones, their home. No matter what you think about the political situation surrounding current events, these people are the biggest heroes of this war. And we must not turn our back on them and forget their sacrifice.

The story that inspired this drawing: The Ghost of Kyiv is an urban legend that appeared during the first days of the invasion. It states that an Ukrainian MiG-29 pilot downed six Russian planes during the first day of the war, making them an Ace in a Day. Although no credible proof of the existence of Ghost of Kyiv exists, the story became one of the symbols of fierce Ukrainian resistance, especially during the first days of the war.
