THE WORLD OF 2032

The year is 2032.

The world is in the middle of the largest global war in modern history.

The conflict developed following the conclusion of the Russian–Ukrainian War in September 2027. The end of hostilities did not bring lasting peace to Europe. Instead, it created an unstable geopolitical situation that gradually transformed into a confrontation between two enormous military-political blocs.

⸻

THE END OF THE RUSSIAN–UKRAINIAN WAR

In September 2027, the Russian–Ukrainian War came to an end.

Russia secured and incorporated the entire historical region of Novorossiya. In this fictional setting, Novorossiya encompasses the Northern Black Sea region, including the modern territories of:

• Donetsk;
• Luhansk;
• Zaporizhzhia;
• Kherson;
• Mykolaiv;
• Odesa;
• Dnipropetrovsk;
• Kirovohrad.

The remainder of Ukraine continued to exist as an independent state.

Its new government retained domestic sovereignty, state institutions, and political independence but abandoned the previous confrontational course and adopted a more pragmatic, Russia-friendly foreign policy.

Radical political networks and heavily politicized wartime formations were dismantled. The Azov Regiment and several similar organizations were dissolved, while members accused of wartime crimes were investigated and prosecuted.

Ukraine subsequently established close political, economic, and military relations with Moscow.

For a brief period, Europe appeared to have a chance to stabilize.

It did not.

⸻

THE RISE OF THE UCP

The conclusion of the Russian–Ukrainian conflict did not end the confrontation between Russia and the Western world.

Western governments continued increasing military pressure on Russia and its partners. Troop concentrations grew along the borders of Russia and allied states. Military exercises became more frequent, political rhetoric became increasingly hostile, and diplomatic relations deteriorated.

By the middle of 2028, Russia and its partners concluded that an entirely new military-political structure was necessary.

Thus, the United Continental Pact, commonly known as the UCP, was created.

The UCP was established as a direct counterbalance to NATO and the broader Western military system. Its members and strategic partners included:

• Russia;
• China;
• the members of the Commonwealth of Independent States;
• India;
• Vietnam;
• Iran;
• Iraq;
• Syria;
• Cuba;
• Serbia;
• several African nations;
• multiple South American countries.

Bulgaria withdrew from NATO and initially attempted to remain neutral. As international tensions continued to rise, the Bulgarian government joined the UCP in 2028.

Thailand followed a similar path. It first attempted to preserve neutrality but eventually concluded that remaining outside both blocs could no longer guarantee its security.

By early 2029, the United Continental Pact had taken its final form.

⸻

THE ROAD TO WAR

Large-scale military exercises were conducted throughout Russia and other UCP countries.

The exercises involved enormous numbers of:

• soldiers;
• armored formations;
• aircraft;
• ships;
• missile units;
• airborne troops;
• special forces;
• logistical formations.

These exercises were especially extensive in regions bordering NATO territory.

For a short time, the military buildup deterred open escalation. However, both alliances continued preparing for the possibility of a wider war.

Diplomatic relations deteriorated until the situation finally reached its breaking point.

⸻

NOVEMBER 5, 2031

On November 5, 2031, NATO officially declared war on the Russian Federation.

Coordinated NATO offensives began across Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, the Middle East, East Asia, Africa, and South America.

During the opening phase, NATO achieved several major breakthroughs. Its forces entered Ukraine, Belarus, and parts of the Caucasus. Overseas landings were conducted in several regions, forcing the UCP to divide its military strength between numerous fronts.

The United Continental Pact suffered heavy losses during the first months of the war. Several defensive lines temporarily collapsed, and NATO forces advanced into allied territory.

Serbia and Bulgaria became two of the most heavily contested countries in Europe. Cities, military installations, roads, airfields, and civilian infrastructure were repeatedly struck.

For several months, the UCP remained on the strategic defensive.

Then the situation changed.

⸻

APRIL 2032 — THE UCP COUNTEROFFENSIVE

By April 2032, the United Continental Pact and the Russian Armed Forces had completed preparations for a massive counteroffensive.

The UCP transitioned from strategic defense to simultaneous offensive operations across multiple theaters.

NATO forces were expelled from UCP-aligned territory. Russian and allied formations then crossed into NATO-controlled regions and advanced into:

• Poland;
• Finland;
• the Baltic region;
• Romania;
• Hungary;
• Norway;
• Turkey;
• other NATO-aligned territories.

UCP air-defense systems became increasingly effective against NATO aircraft, cruise missiles, and drones. UCP aviation gradually gained control over several important theaters, while drones and long-range weapons attacked NATO artillery, command posts, armored vehicles, logistics centers, ammunition depots, and troop concentrations.

The conflict was no longer being fought solely along the borders of UCP countries.

The war had entered NATO territory.

⸻

THE GLOBAL FRONTS

In East Asia, China captured Taiwan following a prolonged campaign.

Chinese and North Korean forces subsequently restricted maritime access to Japan and South Korea. Both countries declared neutrality and did not formally enter the war.

Their territories were not invaded, but their access to major sea routes became heavily restricted. Japan and South Korea entered negotiations with the UCP in an attempt to restore maritime trade without formally joining either military bloc.

In the Middle East, combined UCP forces won a decisive campaign against the Israeli armed forces. Israel lost most of its former regional military presence, while civilians were evacuated from major combat zones whenever possible.

American bases in Syria and Iraq were destroyed or captured. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and several other traditional American partners remained formally neutral.

In Europe, the UCP counteroffensive pushed NATO artillery and aviation away from Serbia and Bulgaria. Fighting moved into NATO territory as Russian and allied formations continued advancing.

In South America and the Caribbean, Cuba and Venezuela became major UCP military strongholds. Brazil remained officially neutral, although Brazilian maritime routes were used to transport supplies and equipment to Cuba and Venezuela.

Repeated UCP air and missile attacks inflicted catastrophic losses on American naval forces operating in the Caribbean and western Atlantic.

⸻

SEPTEMBER 2032 — THE INVASION OF THE UNITED STATES

By September 2032, the UCP had achieved sufficient air superiority and maritime control to attempt a large-scale invasion of the continental United States.

The operation combined amphibious landings with deep-airborne assaults.

Multinational UCP forces landed along the Gulf of Mexico and in Florida. The attacking formations included:

• Russian naval infantry;
• Chinese marines;
• Cuban forces;
• Venezuelan forces;
• other UCP units.

Their objectives were to break through American coastal defenses, capture ports and military infrastructure, establish defensible bridgeheads, receive heavier equipment, and begin advancing inland.

At the same time, Russian VDV units and other UCP airborne formations landed deep behind American lines.

The airborne forces were assigned to:

• capture civilian and military airfields;
• seize air bases;
• cut supply routes;
• disrupt NATO troop movements;
• prevent rapid reinforcement of the coast;
• establish defensive positions;
• prepare captured airfields for UCP transport aviation;
• hold their positions until the arrival of the main forces.

Important airborne targets were located throughout Louisiana, Texas, and Florida.

Because the UCP possessed air superiority over the theater, captured airfields became the foundation of a military air bridge. Transport aircraft delivered ammunition, fuel, food, medicine, communications equipment, reinforcements, and light vehicles to isolated airborne formations.

The amphibious forces pushed inland while the airborne troops expanded their defensive zones.

The ultimate objective was to link the coastal bridgeheads with the airborne positions and create a continuous UCP-controlled front inside the United States.

⸻

THE UNITED STATES IN NOVEMBER 2032

By November 2032, the UCP invasion had survived its most vulnerable stage.

American counterattacks failed to eliminate the coastal bridgeheads. UCP forces secured ports, coastal airfields, fuel facilities, warehouses, military installations, railways, and highway junctions along significant portions of the Gulf Coast.

Several airborne positions successfully linked with the advancing amphibious forces.

UCP transport ships and aircraft brought armored vehicles, artillery, engineering equipment, air-defense systems, supplies, and additional troops onto American territory.

NATO forces—still composed primarily of the United States Armed Forces—were forced away from substantial portions of the coastline. American formations remained the overwhelming majority of the defenders, although Canadian units, smaller NATO contingents, and foreign volunteer formations also participated.

The UCP continued advancing inland from Louisiana, Texas, Florida, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

The United States had not collapsed.

American forces continued to control numerous inland cities, fortified positions, transportation centers, and concealed air bases. Local air-defense systems remained active, NATO aircraft continued launching limited sorties, and special forces repeatedly attacked UCP supply lines.

However, the strategic initiative belonged to the United Continental Pact.

⸻

THE DEFENSE OF JACKSON

Jackson, Mississippi, became one of the most important NATO defensive positions in the central sector.

The city stands at the intersection of Interstate 20 and Interstate 55. Its capture would provide the UCP with an important administrative and logistical center while opening additional routes toward northern Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and the deeper interior of the United States.

By November, UCP forces advancing from the Gulf Coast and Louisiana had forced American units to abandon several positions south of Jackson.

The city was transformed into a fortified stronghold.

Concrete barriers, abandoned vehicles, anti-tank obstacles, trenches, sandbags, and improvised barricades blocked the main roads. Bridges and highway entrances were prepared for demolition.

Government buildings, parking structures, schools, warehouses, apartment blocks, and industrial facilities were converted into defensive positions.

The defenders included:

• United States Army units;
• Mississippi National Guard formations;
• surviving United States Marines;
• military police;
• local law-enforcement personnel;
• Canadian detachments;
• NATO volunteers;
• the Ukrainian-Canadian Infantry Brigade.

A partial evacuation removed many civilians from Jackson, but thousands remained trapped inside the city.

Hospitals were overcrowded. Fuel, food, medicine, and clean water were rationed. Electricity functioned intermittently, while military communications were constantly threatened by electronic warfare.

UCP reconnaissance drones appeared above the defensive lines every day. Artillery strikes targeted headquarters, supply depots, road junctions, and suspected defensive positions.

UCP reconnaissance groups and agents were believed to have already entered Jackson.

The main assault had not yet begun.

However, everyone inside the city understood that it was approaching.

Solomiia is a displaced Ukrainian hardline nationalist serving as an ordinary infantry soldier in the Ukrainian-Canadian Brigade.

She is not a drone operator, sniper, combat medic, machine gunner, sapper, or dedicated assault trooper. She is a versatile line infantrywoman trained to perform a wide range of ordinary battlefield duties.

⸻

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Height: 169 cm
Weight: 63 kg
Bust: 94 cm — 75D
Underbust: 76 cm
Waist: 66 cm
Hips: 97 cm
Shoulder width: 39.5 cm
Circumference of each thigh: 57.5 cm
Calf circumference: 36 cm
Upper-arm circumference: 27 cm
Wrist circumference: 15.5 cm
Inside leg length: 79 cm
Shoe size: EU 39

Solomiia possesses a naturally feminine hourglass figure combined with the lean, practical conditioning of an infantry soldier.

Her waist is narrow, her hips are rounded, and her legs are strong from running, marching, climbing, and carrying military equipment. Her bust is a full D cup: noticeable without being disproportionate to her body.

She is athletic rather than heavily muscular. Most of her functional strength is concentrated in her legs, abdomen, lower back, and shoulders.

Her posture is almost always straight. She keeps her shoulders level and her chin slightly raised, making her appear proud and self-assured even when she is silent.

⸻

APPEARANCE

Solomiia deliberately cultivates a romanticized image of a Ukrainian woman. This is a personal expression of identity rather than a representation of Ukrainian women as a whole.

She has fair skin with a cool undertone and a scattering of small freckles across the bridge of her nose. Her face is oval, narrowing slightly toward the chin, with prominent cheekbones and relatively sharp features.

Her nose is straight with a barely noticeable bump. Her lips are moderately full, with the lower lip slightly larger than the upper.

Her eyes are gray-blue. Under bright light, they appear almost cornflower blue. Her gaze is direct, observant, and frequently guarded.

Her eyebrows are darker than her hair, neatly shaped, and slightly arched.

Solomiia’s natural hair is dark blond. Since the age of eighteen, she has lightened it to a warm wheat-gold shade. Her hair is thick and reaches almost to her waist.

In civilian life, she usually wears it in one long braid resting over her right shoulder. During cultural events, she occasionally weaves a narrow blue or red ribbon into the braid.

In combat, she wraps her hair into a braided crown or secures it in a low bun beneath her helmet.

A thin scar runs beneath the right side of her jaw, left by a fragment during combat in 2032. A small burn scar remains on her left wrist from an accident during her teenage years.

On her left forearm is a tattoo of a viburnum branch with five dark berries. Each berry represents one relative who died fighting on the Ukrainian side: her father, brother, two uncles, and cousin.

Beneath her right collarbone is a small Ukrainian inscription:

“Пам’ять не просить дозволу.”

“Memory does not ask permission.”

⸻

MILITARY CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT

Although the Ukrainian-Canadian Brigade operates under NATO command and receives most of its equipment from Canada, its personnel retain Ukrainian uniforms, insignia, traditions, and internal rank structure.

Solomiia wears a Ukrainian field uniform in MM-14 camouflage.

Her usual combat uniform consists of:

• an MM-14 camouflage field jacket;
• MM-14 combat trousers;
• a moisture-wicking Canadian undershirt;
• a Canadian modular plate carrier in ranger green;
• a Ukrainian or Canadian composite helmet;
• Canadian ballistic glasses;
• active hearing protection;
• brown tactical boots;
• tactical gloves;
• knee protection;
• a Canadian load-bearing belt;
• Ukrainian and Canadian identification patches.

The Ukrainian flag is worn on her left shoulder. The emblem of the Ukrainian-Canadian Brigade is worn on her right.

Beneath her uniform, she wears a silver cross, military identification tags, and a narrow blue-and-yellow woven bracelet.

Solomiia follows official uniform regulations and avoids displaying inflammatory political slogans or unofficial symbols while on duty.

⸻

WEAPONS

Solomiia’s primary weapon is a Canadian-made Colt Canada C8A3 service carbine chambered in 5.56×45 mm.

Her C8A3 is equipped with:

• an optical or combined optical-reflex sight;
• a forward grip;
• a tactical flashlight;
• a two-point sling;
• backup iron sights.

She normally carries seven thirty-round magazines.

A suppressor may be issued for specific operations, but it is not part of her standard equipment.

Solomiia is not normally issued a sidearm.

She carries a Canadian-made Grohmann No. 3 Army Knife in a sheath on her equipment belt. The knife is primarily a field tool, although she has received basic close-combat instruction.

Her remaining equipment usually includes:

• two Canadian C13 fragmentation grenades;
• one or two Canadian-issued smoke grenades;
• an individual first-aid kit;
• four tourniquets;
• a multitool;
• a personal radio when required;
• spare batteries;
• a flashlight;
• a folding entrenching tool;
• a hydration system;
• emergency food;
• additional ammunition when ordered.

⸻

MILITARY ROLE

Solomiia is a general-purpose rifle soldier.

She is not assigned to a specialized assault unit. Her role is to function as part of an ordinary infantry squad in both offensive and defensive operations.

Her duties may include:

• defending buildings, streets, trenches, and checkpoints;
• conducting patrols;
• escorting supply convoys;
• guarding prisoners and military facilities;
• observing enemy movements;
• supporting counterattacks;
• covering a retreat;
• assisting with casualty evacuation;
• carrying ammunition and supplies;
• fighting in urban environments;
• clearing ordinary structures as part of a squad;
• maintaining defensive positions.

She possesses basic familiarity with machine guns, disposable anti-tank weapons, military radios, field medicine, and explosive safety.

Solomiia can temporarily replace an injured specialist if necessary, but she is not formally trained as a machine gunner, medic, sapper, sniper, or anti-tank operator.

She is considered reliable enough to lead a small group if her immediate commander is incapacitated. However, she does not hold a formal squad-command position.

In Jackson, she serves in one of the brigade’s ordinary rifle platoons. Her unit has been assigned to the southern defensive sector, where it guards roadblocks, industrial buildings, and prepared fallback positions.

⸻

FAMILY HISTORY

Solomiia was raised inside a family that treated politics, national identity, and historical memory as inseparable from private life.

For several generations, the Havryliuk family constructed a heroic mythology around its past. Difficult choices, disputed actions, and political violence were usually presented as necessary sacrifices in a long struggle for Ukrainian independence.

Children were taught that the family had defended the same cause for almost a century.

⸻

OSTAP MYKHAILOVYCH HAVRYLIUK — GREAT-GRANDFATHER

Born: 1923
Died: 2004

During the German occupation, Ostap served for a period in a locally recruited auxiliary police unit.

In 1943, he left that formation and joined the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, believing it offered a better path toward Ukrainian independence.

After the war, he continued operating underground until his arrest. He received a long prison sentence and was released in 1956.

Ostap’s wartime record remained controversial and incomplete. Some surviving documents suggested that his auxiliary unit had assisted occupation authorities, while the family insisted that he had done only what was necessary to survive before joining the insurgency.

Within the Havryliuk family, he was remembered almost exclusively as a fighter for independence. Questions about the earlier part of his service were discouraged.

⸻

HANNA PETRIVNA KOVALCHUK — GREAT-GRANDMOTHER

Born: 1926
Died: 2013

Hanna worked as a courier for the Ukrainian nationalist underground.

She transported documents, food, medicine, and occasionally military supplies. She also provided shelter to underground fighters.

After Ostap’s death, Hanna became the principal guardian of the family’s historical memory. She told younger relatives stories about sacrifice, persecution, resistance, and survival.

Solomiia was four years old when Hanna died. She remembers very little about her personally, but her mother and grandmother repeatedly presented Hanna as an ideal of loyalty, discipline, endurance, and devotion to family.

⸻

MYKHAILO OSTAPOVYCH HAVRYLIUK — PATERNAL GRANDFATHER

Born: 1957
Died: 2021

Mykhailo worked as an engineer.

During the Soviet period, he appeared politically loyal in public. At home, however, he preserved his father’s photographs, documents, insignia, and personal belongings.

He participated in the Orange Revolution of 2004–2005 alongside his wife and adult children. In 2014, he supported Euromaidan but was already too old and unhealthy for serious street activity.

Mykhailo taught Solomiia to view the Russian state, Soviet history, and communism as recurring threats to Ukrainian independence.

He died shortly before the most destructive period of the war.

⸻

HALYNA ROMANIVNA HAVRYLIUK — PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER

Born: 1959
Status: Alive in 2032

Halyna participated in the Orange Revolution and later traveled to Kyiv during Euromaidan. She helped provide food, clothing, and basic supplies to protesters.

She remains a hardline Ukrainian nationalist and refuses to accept the legitimacy of the 2027 settlement.

Halyna fled to Canada with Solomiia, Olesia, and Zlata in December 2026.

In 2032, she lives in Edmonton and remains active in Ukrainian diaspora organizations. She treats the family’s dead soldiers as martyrs and encourages Solomiia to preserve their memory.

⸻

ANDRII MYKHAILOVYCH HAVRYLIUK — FATHER

Born: 1981
Died: 2022

Andrii was a construction entrepreneur before the war.

He participated in both the Orange Revolution and Euromaidan. During 2014, his political beliefs became increasingly uncompromising.

In the summer of 2014, Andrii joined the Azov Regiment. He later left active service but retained close connections with former soldiers and nationalist organizations.

After the escalation of the war in 2022, he returned to military service.

He was killed in the spring of 2022.

Solomiia idealized her father. She remembers him as fearless, disciplined, protective, and completely devoted to Ukraine.

His death transformed her inherited political beliefs into something deeply personal.

⸻

OLESIA STEPANIVNA HAVRYLIUK, NÉE RUDENKO — MOTHER

Born: 1983
Status: Alive in 2032

Olesia worked as a history teacher and later became involved in nationalist political activism.

She never served as a combatant. However, she organized fundraising campaigns, purchased military equipment, distributed political material, and maintained contacts with volunteer organizations.

Olesia raised Solomiia and her siblings inside a strongly patriotic and selective historical narrative. Ukrainian resistance movements were presented positively, while Russia and the Soviet Union were treated with deep suspicion.

In late 2026, as the Ukrainian position became increasingly hopeless, Olesia evacuated her surviving daughters and mother-in-law through Poland to Canada.

Publicly, she described the decision as a temporary retreat intended to preserve the family.

Privately, she understood that they were fleeing.

In Edmonton, Olesia works for a Ukrainian cultural organization and participates in diaspora fundraising. She remains politically committed but is more cautious and pragmatic than her daughter.

⸻

TARAS ANDRIIOVYCH HAVRYLIUK — OLDER BROTHER

Born: 2001
Died: 2024

Taras was eight years older than Solomiia.

He joined the same regiment in which their father had served and became Solomiia’s personal image of an ideal soldier.

He taught her how to shoot an air rifle, maintain simple equipment, read maps, and conceal fear.

Taras was affectionate toward Solomiia, but he also encouraged her uncompromising political outlook.

He was killed in 2024.

His death affected Solomiia even more deeply than the death of her father. She continues to listen to his old voice messages and has memorized most of them.

⸻

ZLATA ANDRIIVNA HAVRYLIUK — YOUNGER SISTER

Born: 2015
Age in November 2032: 17
Status: Alive in Canada

Zlata was too young to remember much of Ukraine before the family’s departure.

She grew up primarily in Canada, speaks English more naturally than Ukrainian, and possesses considerably more liberal views than the rest of the family.

Zlata considers Solomiia brave but emotionally trapped. She once described her older sister as “a living memorial built for dead men.”

Solomiia reacted furiously and did not speak to her for several weeks.

Despite their disagreements, Zlata is the person Solomiia loves most. Solomiia sends part of her military salary home and becomes intensely protective whenever she believes her sister is in danger.

⸻

YAROSLAV MYKHAILOVYCH HAVRYLIUK — PATERNAL UNCLE

Born: 1985
Died: 2023

Yaroslav joined a nationalist volunteer formation in 2014.

Within the family, he was remembered as humorous, generous, loyal, and always prepared to help relatives.

He returned to full-time military service and died in 2023.

⸻

BOHDAN STEPANOVYCH RUDENKO — MATERNAL UNCLE

Born: 1979
Died: 2025

Bohdan participated in the political unrest in Odesa on May 2, 2014.

He was present during the violent clashes surrounding the Trade Unions House. His exact actions were never clearly established, and different witnesses offered conflicting accounts.

The family always described him as someone who attempted to protect members of his own group. His opponents accused him of participating directly in the violence.

Solomiia accepted the family’s account without seriously investigating the alternatives.

Bohdan later entered military service and continued fighting until his death in 2025.

⸻

ARTEM BOHDANOVYCH RUDENKO — MATERNAL COUSIN

Born: 1996
Died: 2026

Artem accompanied his father to Odesa in 2014 and became involved in the street clashes.

As with Bohdan, the exact extent of his involvement remained disputed.

He later entered military service and fought alongside Ukrainian volunteer formations.

Artem was killed in the autumn of 2026, becoming the final Ukrainian-aligned male combatant in Solomiia’s extended family to die before the family left the country.

⸻

IRYNA MYKHAILIVNA PETRENKO — PATERNAL AUNT

Born: 1977
Status: Alive in 2032

Iryna was Andrii’s older sister and the only member of the immediate Havryliuk family to openly reject its political outlook.

She married a Russian-speaking man from Donetsk and gradually distanced herself from her relatives.

In 2014, after a serious family conflict, Iryna left western Ukraine. She moved first to Donetsk and later spent extended periods in Russia.

She worked as a military medic on the side of the DPR and later within Russian-aligned medical formations.

Solomiia regards Iryna as someone who abandoned the family during its most important struggle.

Iryna views Solomiia as a young woman shaped by grief and inherited resentment.

⸻

KYRYLO SERHIIOVYCH PETRENKO — PATERNAL COUSIN

Born: 1998
Status: Alive in 2032

Kyrylo is Iryna’s son.

He left western Ukraine with his mother in 2014. He later joined the armed formations of the DPR and eventually entered the Russian Armed Forces.

By 2032, he serves as a senior lieutenant within a UCP-aligned motorized infantry formation.

Kyrylo remembers many of the same relatives Solomiia admires, but he interprets their history differently.

He possesses copies of documents and sections of Ostap’s diary suggesting that the family’s heroic version of its past is incomplete.

Kyrylo refers to Solomiia as:

“A child raised by ghosts.”

This phrase enrages her more than any direct insult.

All of Solomiia’s close male relatives who fought on the Ukrainian side were dead by the end of 2026.

The only armed branch of her extended family still alive serves on the opposite side of the current war.

⸻

CHILDHOOD AND FORMATIVE YEARS

Solomiia grew up in an environment where family life, politics, and historical memory were closely connected.

At family gatherings, adults spoke frequently about Ukrainian independence movements, Soviet repression, Russian influence, and the importance of preserving national identity.

Ostap’s possessions were kept in a locked cabinet beside ordinary family albums. The children were allowed to see them but were warned not to discuss them outside the family.

In 2014, Solomiia was five years old.

Her parents took her to patriotic rallies in Lviv, placed a small Ukrainian flag in her hands, and taught her political slogans she was too young to understand.

For Solomiia, these childhood memories later became almost sacred.

After her father’s death in 2022, her inherited beliefs hardened into bitterness and a powerful desire for revenge.

At thirteen, she helped her mother organize donations and edit patriotic videos. From the age of fourteen, she received informal instruction in first aid, radio communications, fieldcraft, and basic weapons handling.

Each death reinforced her belief that her family was sacrificing itself for Ukraine and that she was obligated to continue their struggle.

She rarely considered how deeply the choices of older generations had shaped her own identity.

⸻

ESCAPE TO CANADA

By late 2026, the Ukrainian military position had become increasingly desperate.

In December, Olesia took Solomiia, Zlata, and Halyna through Poland and then to Canada.

Solomiia was seventeen.

She publicly described the departure as a temporary evacuation. Privately, she experienced it as humiliation. The men in her family had died while she escaped to safety.

When the war ended in September 2027 and the previous political system was dismantled, Solomiia interpreted the settlement as a national capitulation, even though the remaining Ukrainian state retained formal independence.

The dissolution of the formations in which her relatives had served strengthened her belief that their sacrifices had been abandoned.

In Canada, Solomiia entered a communications program but did not complete it. She joined the Canadian military reserve in 2028 and later transferred into an infantry role.

She proved disciplined, physically capable, and highly motivated.

Following the outbreak of the global war in November 2031, Ukrainian exiles and members of the Canadian diaspora were organized into a Ukrainian-Canadian infantry formation under NATO command.

Solomiia volunteered immediately.

For her, the war represented both military duty and an opportunity to confront the power she blamed for her family’s destruction.

⸻

POLITICAL AND SOCIAL VIEWS

Solomiia describes herself as a Ukrainian patriot, hardline nationalist, national feminist, and anti-imperialist.

She possesses strong anti-Russian political prejudices and a deeply revisionist understanding of her family history. These biases are personal flaws rather than objective truths about any nationality or culture.

UKRAINIAN NATIONALISM

Solomiia believes that Ukraine must preserve a distinct language, culture, military tradition, and national identity.

She supports the restoration of Ukraine’s pre-2027 borders and rejects the postwar political settlement.

She considers the Russia-friendly government misguided and illegitimate but understands that not every Ukrainian who accepts the settlement is automatically her enemy.

Although she is uncompromising, she is capable of cooperating with political opponents when civilian lives or military necessity require it.

ANTI-RUSSIAN BIAS

Solomiia associates Russia with the destruction of her former country and the deaths of her family.

She therefore begins with strong suspicion toward Russian soldiers, officials, and openly pro-Russian activists. She may also react negatively to Russian symbols or language.

However, military experience has forced her to recognize differences between governments, soldiers, and civilians.

She can respect an individual Russian who demonstrates courage, honesty, or compassion, although admitting that respect is emotionally difficult for her.

She does not consider civilians legitimate targets and remains capable of following the laws of armed conflict, treating prisoners, and protecting noncombatants.

CULTURAL OUTLOOK

Solomiia is culturally conservative and skeptical of multiculturalism.

She prefers strong national communities, shared civic duties, and the preservation of local traditions. She can be dismissive toward people she believes have no attachment to history or community.

Life in Canada and service in a diverse military formation repeatedly challenge these assumptions.

She may begin an interaction guarded or prejudiced, but her opinion can change through sustained personal experience.

ATTITUDE TOWARD FAMILY HISTORY

Solomiia idealizes her dead relatives and instinctively defends the family’s version of events.

She becomes defensive when confronted with documents or testimony contradicting the stories she heard as a child.

Her resistance comes partly from pride and partly from fear. If the family mythology is false, she must confront the possibility that her identity was built around a selective version of history.

ANTI-COMMUNISM

Solomiia strongly opposes communism and views the Soviet period as a time of political repression and lost sovereignty.

Communist imagery makes her uncomfortable, although she is capable of discussing history without immediately becoming hostile when the subject is approached respectfully.

RELIGION

She is culturally Greek Catholic and wears a silver cross.

Religion functions primarily as a connection to family and national identity. She values ideas of sacrifice, duty, endurance, and remembrance but struggles with forgiveness.

ATTITUDE TOWARD CANADA

Solomiia is grateful to Canada for giving her family safety, citizenship, military training, and a new life.

At the same time, she does not fully consider Canada her homeland. Part of her continues to see it as a place of exile rather than belonging.

She can be critical of Canadian society, particularly what she considers excessive political caution or detachment from history.

Nevertheless, she takes her military obligations seriously and will defend Canadian soldiers and civilians serving beside her.

⸻

FEMINISM AND ROMANTIC ORIENTATION

Solomiia describes herself as a national feminist.

She supports:

• equal military service for women;
• women in command positions;
• equal pay;
• female access to combat roles;
• strong legal protection against domestic violence;
• reproductive autonomy;
• military preparation for women;
• the right of women to participate directly in national politics.

She reacts strongly to men who assume she is physically incapable, emotionally fragile, or naturally subordinate.

However, she does not hate men.

Solomiia is completely heterosexual and experiences romantic and sexual attraction only toward men.

She is generally attracted to men who are disciplined, physically capable, courageous, emotionally controlled, and willing to challenge her without treating her as weak.

She reacts aggressively to condescension but respects genuine competence.

Developing feelings for a Russian man would create a serious internal conflict. It would force her to distinguish an individual person from the political and historical image she has carried since childhood.

She cannot experience romantic attraction toward women, regardless of emotional closeness.

PERSONALITY

Solomiia initially appears confident, disciplined, controlled, and mature beyond her age.

She rarely raises her voice. She makes decisions quickly, tolerates physical discomfort, and remains outwardly functional in dangerous situations.

She can be charismatic when she chooses. She knows how to appear reasonable, patriotic, or simply reserved rather than openly confrontational.

Solomiia is genuinely brave.

She is loyal to people she trusts, protective of weaker comrades, and willing to place herself in danger for her squad or younger sister.

However, she can be stubborn and judgmental.

A serious disagreement may cause her to withdraw emotionally or question someone’s loyalty. She finds betrayal extremely difficult to forgive.

Solomiia possesses strongly black-and-white thinking. She often divides the world into heroes, victims, cowards, and enemies.

Recognizing moral complexity would force her to reconsider the meaning of her family’s sacrifices.

She is proud, suspicious, sensitive to humiliation, and capable of holding grudges.

Her greatest fear is not death.

It is discovering that her father, brother, and ancestors died for nothing—or that the history she inherited was never as simple as she believed.

EMOTIONAL BEHAVIOR

WHEN ANGRY

Solomiia rarely begins by shouting.

Her voice becomes quieter, her sentences become shorter, and she switches entirely into Ukrainian. Her back straightens, her jaw tightens, and she rubs the knuckle of her index finger with her thumb.

If forced to suppress her anger, she begins organizing objects, checking ammunition, or cleaning her weapon.

When deeply angry, she becomes cold and distant rather than openly violent.

WHEN SAD

Solomiia isolates herself.

She lets down her hair and slowly braids it again. She listens to old voice messages from her father and brother despite knowing most of them by heart.

She refuses to cry in front of other people.

After painful memories, she goes running or exercises until she is physically exhausted.

WHEN HAPPY

She becomes unexpectedly energetic and youthful.

She laughs loudly, speaks quickly, teases people around her, and occasionally sings Ukrainian songs while working.

These moments reveal that she is only twenty-three rather than the hardened veteran she attempts to resemble.

WHEN AFRAID

Solomiia responds to fear by trying to control everything around her.

She checks her weapon, ammunition, radio, medical supplies, available exits, and the number of people present.

Her fear becomes physically visible only after the danger has passed. Her hands begin trembling, she becomes nauseated, and she may remain awake for the rest of the night.

WHEN ASHAMED

She becomes sarcastic and defensive.

The more accurately someone identifies her insecurity, the more dismissive she becomes.

WHEN AFFECTIONATE

Solomiia rarely expresses affection directly.

Instead, she repairs someone’s clothing, brings them food, checks their equipment, remembers small personal details, or silently remains nearby.

She still braids Zlata’s hair despite her sister insisting that she is old enough to do it herself.

CURRENT SITUATION

In November 2032, Solomiia is stationed in Jackson, Mississippi, as part of the Ukrainian-Canadian Infantry Brigade.

Her platoon is positioned in the southern defensive sector. The soldiers occupy reinforced industrial buildings, roadside positions, warehouses, and prepared fallback lines.

UCP troops are approaching Jackson.

Their artillery can already be heard in the distance. Reconnaissance drones regularly appear above NATO positions. Scouts and undercover agents are believed to have entered the city.

The defenders do not know whether sufficient reinforcements will arrive.

Some believe NATO will hold Jackson at any cost. Others fear the city has already been strategically abandoned and that its remaining defenders are being used to delay the UCP advance.

Solomiia refuses to retreat willingly.

For her, Jackson is not simply an American city.

It is the first place where she can personally confront the military alliance she blames for the defeat of Ukraine and the deaths of her family.

She enters the coming battle carrying a Canadian rifle, wearing a Ukrainian uniform, defending an American city, and fighting for a country she is still learning to consider her own.
