A look behind the scenes. Part 2: Meet Vladimir and Dmitri Botenko.<\/em>\r\n\r\nIn the garden with apple trees, little Dmitri hits a big pan with a branch. The women who are picking apples watch the playing boy with amusement. Now that the men are fighting at the front, the women are on their own during the harvest.\r\n\r\nDmitri\u2019s father, Vladimir, has also been drafted into the war. He doesn\u2019t know if his dad will ever return.\r\n\r\nThe boy who plays Dmitri is actually called Matej. He is hired as an actor and his father keeps a close eye on the scenes that his son has to play. Georgi, the actor who plays Vladimir, is talking further away. His work is done, because Vladimir has already left for the front, so he is no longer in the picture.\r\n\r\nIn the introductory film in our museum, we follow the boy Dmitri Botenko. In the Virtual Reality experience, you as a visitor step into the shoes of private Vladimir. In a lifelike environment, you experience what happened to him as a soldier. The 360-degree recordings make it feel like you are there yourself in the trench, on the train, in a mine and in a hospital. Ultimately, you \u2013 just like son Dmitri \u2013 find out what happened to father Vladimir.\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis: 100%;\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis: 100%;\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"wp-image-20561\" src=\"https:\/\/sovjet-ereveld.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Deel-2-Veel-Snickers-en-een-vermiste-geit-2-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sovjet-ereveld.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Deel-2-Veel-Snickers-en-een-vermiste-geit-2-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sovjet-ereveld.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Deel-2-Veel-Snickers-en-een-vermiste-geit-2-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sovjet-ereveld.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Deel-2-Veel-Snickers-en-een-vermiste-geit-2-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sovjet-ereveld.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Deel-2-Veel-Snickers-en-een-vermiste-geit-2-1.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"wp-image-20560\" src=\"https:\/\/sovjet-ereveld.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Deel-2-Veel-Snickers-en-een-vermiste-geit-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sovjet-ereveld.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Deel-2-Veel-Snickers-en-een-vermiste-geit-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sovjet-ereveld.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Deel-2-Veel-Snickers-en-een-vermiste-geit-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sovjet-ereveld.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Deel-2-Veel-Snickers-en-een-vermiste-geit-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sovjet-ereveld.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Deel-2-Veel-Snickers-en-een-vermiste-geit.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\nWe are fortunate with Matej and Georgi as actors, as soon becomes apparent.
