Review by Jack Kost:
Saturday, August 24, 2024.
My forthcoming nonfiction book on movies is going through its final revisions, with 437 pages complete.
I first saw Sniper: The White Raven back in April (2024), on The Movie Channel.
After watching it, I had to include and recommend it in my book.
Based on the true life and experiences of Mykola Voronin, an ecologist, teacher and writer.
He lived a simple life off the grid with his wife, Nastya, in Donbas, Ukraine.
In 2014, Russian soldiers invaded and murdered his wife.
Mykola, fueled by rage and the need for justice and vengeance for his wife, enlisted in the Ukrainian Army.
He trained, became a sniper, and fought back.
He switched from idealistic pacifist to warrior, assigning himself the codename Raven, in reference to the White Raven symbol his wife placed in stones outside their home.
Mykola vowed to defend Ukraine.
Russia senselessly invaded Ukraine again in 2022.
This movie and true story couldn’t be more topical or important.
Powerful.
Real.
Raw.
Tragic.
Heartbreaking.
We stand with Ukraine.
Victory to Ukraine.
Glory to Ukraine.
Slava Ukraini.
