'Bravery is in our DNA' Brave.ua panel, Berlin
A large printed panel on a construction fence in Berlin: a blue field with the Ukrainian trident and the words 'Bravery is in our DNA' and 'brave.ua', beside a credited photograph of a firefighter lowering an elderly woman on a rescue ladder from a smoking, damaged apartment block. The tell: a virtue word, bravery, is fixed to a whole nation as an inborn trait ('in our DNA'), a statement no evidence on the panel could test.
