I’m begging major media to report on whether “The Ghost of Kyiv” really exists—as if it’s true that today a heroic Ukrainian fighter pilot single-handedly downed *6* Russian jets, this flying ace immediately becomes a stirring symbol of Ukraine’s resistance to Putin’s war crimes.

(UPDATE) Some viral reports say six confirmed victories, some say four. To be clear, *none of this is confirmed yet* and we are waiting on word from major media.

When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself, first as a dark demon. As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies. However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns, this time as a great hero.

Albert Genette, summarizing the legend above and quoting the book it originated from, A Blue Dove for the Princess.
