Andrei Kurkov / Ukraine. Ecological Apocalypse now

I now know exactly what the Apocalypse looks like.  Raging torrents of murky water that sweep everything living and dead before them into the abyss, killing thousands of deer and roe deer, cows and goats, tens of thousands of hedgehogs, hundreds of people.

These torrents sweep away the top layer of soil from the land and flood the cemeteries disturbing the graves of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians killed by Russian missiles and drones. On the flooded land, the water becomes deoxygenated and fish die in their thousands of tons. Then wells are flooded with this poisonous water, wells that only yesterday supplied the life source of the local population.
