Andrei Stsiapanau's story is absolutely incredible. He was born and raised in Belarus, which was a part of the Soviet Union at the time.  As a child, Andrei lived just 70 miles as the crow flies  from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and was only 2 when the worst nuclear disaster in history, both in cost and casualties, struck. At the age of 7, he watched the fall of the Soviet Union. All through elementary and middle school, Andrei had to wear a device that measured and monitored his internal body radiation. Now, living the American Dream here in the states as an electrical engineer and contractor,  his life and access to hunting looks very different than it once did. A lot of people have been asking me to share my opinion on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and at this point in time, I feel like I don't yet know enough to say. So, I wanted to have Andrei on the show to share his life experiences and feelings about what's happening right now. To give us all a little more context and insight into the places and people that are living through this war.  Andrei on Instagram
