In his adulthood, Khvatov dedicated himself to restoring them and has rescued from oblivion more than a hundred. They include tombstones on graves of his villagers, simple peasants, of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army soldiers (the UPA), Red Army soldiers, Jews, killed by the Nazis, and the German army officers. As he does this he attracts his attention of his villagers and a larger society to issues of collective memory, forgiveness, and historical reconciliation, an agonizingly complex process Ukraine has been undergoing since independence. Without justifying such criminal ideologies as Communism and Nazism, he advocates forgiveness and empathy across ideological, religious, and ethnic divides. 580 Verzio Film Festival Submission 655 Documentary films 942 |2ddc |cDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_5159_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9127270FL |bFL |d2019-01-30 |l0 |oFL 5159 |r2019-01-30 |w2019-01-30 |yDVD-ROM |cAudio Visual 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_5159_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9154257FL |bFL |d2019-09-20 |l0 |oFL Record 5159 |pHU_OSA_00006867.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2019-09-20 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 2XbKglYz 966 True |bHU_OSA_00006867 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
