Ihor, a former law student is fighting as a volunteer on the government side in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Last year, he was taken captive by pro-Russian separatists and spent four months doing forced labour in a former music school, where he found a piano. Ihor is a talented pianist - and persuaded his captors to let him play. After his release, he was contacted by another former volunteer, Oleksandr Tkachuk, who was making a documentary about musicians in the Ukrainian forces. (Picture: Ihor. Credit: Oleksandr Tkachuk).
