"The Long Road Home" tells the story of the Belarusian volunteers' journey through battle and their desire to return to their homeland.

A documentary photo exhibition titled “Kalinovsky’s Regiment: The Long Road Home” was presented in Lviv. It chronicles the combat journey of Belarusian volunteers serving in the Ukrainian Defense Forces and their desire to return to their homeland, where they now face danger, according to Hromadske.

The exhibition opened at the House of the Warrior. Most of the photographs are displayed on cardboard boxes—they symbolize the fighters’ constant relocations and their life away from home.

“The boxes you see at the exhibition symbolize our journey home. This means that right now we are not at home, but in limbo, constantly on the move. It’s a symbol of moving around. In this war, we’ve accumulated a great deal of baggage, but we’ll still return home with it,” said Konstantin Sushchik , a volunteer with the Kalinovsky Regiment with the call sign Kos, explaining the concept behind the exhibition.

The photographs reflect the unit’s combat journey:

The defense of the Kyiv region in the spring of 2022. After the battles for Bucha and Irpin, the volunteers headed south.
Participation in battles in the Mykolaiv region and the counteroffensive in the Kherson region.

Later—battles for Severodonetsk and Lysychansk in the Luhansk region, Bakhmut and Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region, as well as in the Kharkiv region.

And finally, the Zaporizhzhia sector, where the regiment is currently fighting.
