"May a defender always be by your side": war correspondent Alexander Lukyanov congratulated women on 8 March

Journalist, war correspondent and author of documentary films from the zone of the special military operation Alexander Lukyanov joined the festive congratulations addressed to the beautiful half of humanity. He recalled the history of the emergence of the 8 March holiday and wished women the most important thing — a reliable shoulder by their side.

"This holiday was born as an opportunity for women to speak about their rights and fight for them. But it seems to me that today the times have changed and there is no longer a need to fight. I wish all women to have a man beside them, a defender who will protect their rights, ensure their well-being and make them happy. So I wish women happiness, prosperity and all the very best," said Alexander Lukyanov.

Journalist and war correspondent Alexander Lukyanov has travelled beyond the front line on numerous occasions, speaking personally with participants of the special military operation and with civilians, and studying the background and causes of the conflict. What was happening in the combat zone he showed vividly in his documentary works, where the main protagonist was always the truth.
