Lavra Baran had just received her master's degree in music and got a job in the Ukrainian Symphony Orchestra when Russia invaded Ukraine. She and her boyfriend, Kuzma Derkach joined the army along with a million others. Thanks to the Russian invasion, life as they knew it would become suspended. Lavra quickly distinguished herself and her fellow soldiers dubbed her Joan of Kharkiv. Her military exploits would become a feature story in major newspapers and magazines around the world. Added to the mix was her feelings for two men until the war intervened.
