PHOTO. Picture of the Donetsk Photographer from the ATO Zone Became One of the Best in 2017 According to The Guardian

According to Vaganov, he took a photo on October 16 on the positions of the Ukrainian army: in the improvised gym the officer doing exercises using 120-mm mortar shells.

"A young officer of the AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine), a psychologist Alexander Nazarychuk is in the photo. I did a report with him on this day in the Vodyane, and then agreed to stop by their military unit for lunch. I saw this rod made of two mines with a caliber of 120 mm. It was unusual. I asked him to show - and shot it. Before that, I saw a lot of such devices: rods made of bottles filled with sand, made of caterpillar tracks and cinder blocks", - the photographer said.
