Oleksiy Yukov: The man who brought everyone home is gone
The war lost its most dedicated searcher when Oleksiy Yukov stepped on a mine while doing the unthinkable: bringing back the dead.
For twenty years, Oleksiy Yukov treated the grim task of recovering war remains as a calling. He didn't just look for his own side; he brought back Russian soldiers, too. He believed that even in the absolute insanity of war, every human deserves a proper burial.
His luck finally ran out on a mission, stepping on a mine in a field he was clearing. He spent his life finding those left behind, only to become one of them in a final, brutal irony.
A guy who valued humanity more than the side a uniform represented is a rare breed that this world can't afford to lose.
