    I remember listening to a podcast from a NYT reporter near the start of the Russia/Ukraine war. This lady went to Russia and started interviewing draftees right outside of the recruitment offices.

    May not be a war torn battlefield, but that definitely takes some balls.

      Sounds like 1/10 of Petr Ruzavin to me:

      Russian tanks: advance towards Kiyv
      Russian journalists: no longer welcome in Ukraine
      Petr Ruzavin: knows exactly where he needs to be
      Everybody: expects Kiyv to fall
      Police: frantically gathers all the resources they have to defend the city
      Also police: laughs together with Petr Ruzavin interviewing them

      Kharkov region: liberated
      Petr Ruzavin: there and reporting

      Kherson: liberated
      Petr Ruzavin: reporting and celebrating with Ukrainians

      Kherson: flooded
      Reporting from a boat: Petr Ruzavin, of course

      After the war is over, this guy needs a biopic and a statue. While he’s still alive, because I seriously doubt his mortality at this point.
