Everyone remembers the photograph of a seemingly very young soldier of the Square which was at the center of the painful events of February 18th [2014]. Most international agencies published this file. And after the events I repeatedly mentioned this guy. Who is he? How has his fate unfolded? Is he still intact? I asked many in the Square, showing them his photo. Nobody could tell me anything about him. Yesterday, by chance, I was able to see him near the Verkhovna Rada!
- Hey! You’re the same guy who fought on Instytutskiy Street?
- Yes, it’s me. Why? – He asked me, wary.
- Nothing, just very happy to see you. Really liked your shot on the Internet. What is your name?
- Romko.
- And where are you from?
- From the Square.
- Well, this I understood. But where from by birth?
