Ostap Vyshnia was arrested in the 1930s and was sent to the Bolshevik labour camps. His wife Varvara followed him to the far north as a Decembrist’s wife. It was a miracle that Ostap Vyshnia stayed alive and returned from his exile ten years later. Find out about how the couple lived through deprivation, and how Ostap Vyshnia came back to his wife – in the documentary series “The Game of Fate” by VIATEL Studio narrated by Natalka Sopit.
