These two pictures are shown side by side in the Andrei Pozdeev museum.

The museum caption reads: “(Left) The artist Eugen Stepanovich Kobytev the day he went to the front in 1941. (Right) In 1945 when he returned”.

The human face after four years of war. The first picture looks at you, the second one looks through you.

In 1941, Evgeny Stepanovich Kobytev was a young man ready to start his creative life as an artist when Germany attacked the Soviet Union and he had to join the Army.

Four years later, the difference in his face is striking.

A thin and tired face, deep wrinkles, a troubled stare, this man was completely changed after witnessing 4 years of a horrible no-rule war in the Eastern Front.

War, whether Spirtually or Physically is not a place of Fanfare, Picnic or Holiday!

It's not a place where you care about the Flesh. You Don't care to comb your hair, wear fine cloth or fine shoe.

It's a Place of Brutal Battle! Someone has to drop dead or surrender!
So there is no time to check Mirror.

That eastern front (russia vs germany) was the bloodiest.... if you survive that front as a soldeir either german or russian you don’t know what God has done for you ... both sides fought with demonic fury ... and fierce hatred for each other...

The face of a killer. War isn't something anybody should pray for. Killing other humans always has its effect on the human psyche

Dude is lucky to have survived the war

WW2 was the most destructive war in human history.Over 75 million people died

That's why I get filled with rage when I see myophic scoundrels with gleeful delight clamouring for WW3 to happen..

Ordinary war films,I find it difficult to watch

Abeg war no be better thing cry

The biggest change was in his eyes.

Those eyes have seen terrible things. Eyes that have killed, tortured and participated in gruesome and grisly horrors.

Eyes that have seen death.


Eyes that saw betrayal and loss.


Eyes that have sunken, shriveled and became diamond hard.

Eyes that will never remain the same till he died.


Eyes...eyes...just his eyes already told me his soul is forever altered.

War changes all of us. I hope with the way Nigeria is going, we won't have our very own 2nd civil war.

He has seen death face to face.
He has literally gone to the valley of the shadow of death and come back; he can never look the same.
