Weapons and Vehicles Referenced in this Story

Because Zrada is set in a war zone, it refers to a great many weapons and military vehicles. Since eastern Ukraine isn’t exactly well-known turf for most people in the West, even the civilian vehicles aren’t familiar. All of the vehicles and weapons mentioned are real.

Likewise, the two artworks that are the focus for the action are representative of the work of two famous artists. I thought you might want to see them.

Curious? Confused? The following links may help you out. The names to the left are linked to the appropriate Wikipedia page (if one exists); the pictures link to their full-sized versions.
