Ukrainian Souls
Story
"The soul is the innermost, most essential part of a person, which enters them at birth, and after death, is separated from the body and lives an independent life; a duplicate of a person during their lifetime, endowed with the features of a mythical character. The soul determines not only the state of life but also the abilities of a person."
Seven centuries before the Muscovites climbed out of the swamps, the state of Kyivan Rus existed. It was inhabited by incredibly hardworking people who knew how to cultivate the land perfectly, raise cattle, tan leather, build light dwellings, sing songs, and protect the land excellently from the enemies who climbed from all sides to the hills of Kyiv.

Little did they know that Muscovites, hidden and armed, were about to trespass through their swamps and kill, rob, and destroy them. These poor, unarmed Ukrainians never stood a chance against the cold-blooded Russians.
They are illiterate wanderers; they did not study history and did not know that our people have a more concentrated power than their stolen nuclear weapons - it is the power of the Ukrainian spirit, tempered by centuries.
In the first days of the war, there were many unexpected reincarnations...
