Lyudmila Menyuk, a veteran of Russia's war on Ukraine, helps military families through therapy. She offers them the understanding and support she would have wanted for her son, Stanislav Menuyk, who died in 2014 as a paramedic on a combat mission in the Donbas region. "Malva," as she was known by her call sign, joined the army in 2016 to avenge her son. After being wounded and discharged twice, she now helps others to recover from war's trauma.
