But the most abundant artifact they left behind were the empty dark green ammunition boxes that carried everything from rockets to mortars to artillery shells.There is nothing better than a classic. They buried artillery shells that the Ukrainian military found and took away. They murdered many of the villages’ dogs, piling their corpses next to the river near Ms. Rifle ammunition assembled at Novosibirsk have appeared in Libya, Syria and Afghanistan over the last 20 years, a nod to the levels of Soviet small arms that proliferated after the Cold War.īut the Russians had left behind far more in Kamianka than just expended ammunition. One empty cartridge removed from the scattering of expended bullets had been stamped in 1987 at the Novosibirsk Cartridge Plant in Russia.
These were probably left last year by the retreating Russians, who had occupied Kamianka for around six months. The empty cartridges were still visible but well on their way to being buried for the next generation. Huk’s field, embedded in a dirt road that led to the center of Kamianka, was another collection of shell casings. He falsely claimed the country was overrun by the same type of adversaries millions of Soviet soldiers had died fighting during World War II, or what Russians call the Great Patriotic War.Ībout a hundred yards from Ms. One oft-cited reason that President Vladimir V, Putin of Russia has given for launching his illegal invasion was to “denazify” Ukraine.

In the spring of that year German forces counterattacked around Izium and the city of Kharkiv to the northwest. Huk, and the hundred or so residents who have returned to Kamianka since Ukraine reclaimed it, the current war is a continuation of violence, separated by generations, with both eras marked by the artifacts invading armies left behind. They serve as a baseline for distant observers as they try to understand the scope and scale of the destruction that began on Feb. The comparisons between World War II and Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine are apt. Huk’s mother had hidden a Soviet soldier in her attic, she said, and her grandmother was wounded by shrapnel and treated by Nazi doctors. “And even in that war, they fired shells at each other.” Ms. “At that time, the Germans were staying on our side here, and the Soviets were there,” she said. The destruction wrought in the 1940s was the foundation for the village where she came of age - it was in the stories passed down by her family and in the soil, chewed up and spit out by passing tractors. Huk was born after World War II, but the war’s legacy still lingered.
