The cost of victory. The people we remember.

Vasily Vereshchagin’s The Apotheosis of War is the starting point for a project about commanders and the cost of victory. At its heart are decisions on which lives depend, and the memory of the people behind great achievements.

First episode: Devil’s Bridge

One episode is complete: the crossing of Devil’s Bridge, inspired by Suvorov’s campaign.
