‘#VictoryAlphabet’ was released as part of a large-scale project dedicated to 75 years of victory over Nazism, #VictoryPages.

“This is a touching story about the connections that, contrary to all borders and schisms of the modern world, link people of different cultures and eras who equally hate violence and war.
