Music by Alexander Stratonov from "Spider and Other Unpunished" Original Documentary Soundtrack

The documentary film “Spider and Other Unpunished” is an in-depth journalistic investigation into a war crime in the village of Yahidne in the Chernihiv region. In March 2022, Russian occupiers held 369 civilians, including children and elderly people, in the basement of a local school, using them as a “human shield” for their headquarters.

Journalist Alla Sadovnyk and her team reveal the identities of two Russian officers responsible for this crime: Semyon Solovov (call sign “Maple”), who has already been convicted in absentia in Ukraine, and the main suspect, Alexei Zhukov (call sign “Spider”), commander of the 228th regiment. The film traces how the team of investigators identified the perpetrators using eyewitness accounts, data from Russian propaganda channels, and open sources.

The investigation raises questions about accountability for war crimes and the limitations of international law. The film features interviews with international experts: former prosecutor Reed Brody, former commander of the US Army in Europe Ben Hodges, Canadian analyst Michael MacKay, and executive director of the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network Denis Džidić. They discuss the prospects for punishing war criminals, in particular the creation of a Special Tribunal, and whether trials in absentia can be effective for victims.

This film is an attempt to find answers to painful questions: Will the guilty be punished? Does international law work in the context of modern warfare? And what should be done when international institutions prove powerless?

The Not So Good Cop

I started making music in the early 2000s, mostly in the trip-hop genre. I played bass guitar in alternative rock band "acloneofmyown" (2005-2015) and electric guitar in post-hardcore band "The Sky is Red" (2006-2009).

Since 2022 I've started producing solo music and soundtracks for documentaries in various genres - from piano and neo-classical to electronic ambient.
