In addition to a military struggle, a cultural war is also raging in Ukraine. Statues, street signs and books: everything that smells of Russia goes to the plains or ends up with the old paper. Perfectly understandable, but for some this is going too far. Jelle visits a book market in Kyiv where a stable owner is one of the few still selling Russian literature. And he goes out with a photographer who fights for the preservation of Soviet heritage. The Russian language also disappears. Jelle visits a village where the Russians have spent a few weeks. After they have been driven there, no one speaks a word of Russian anymore.
