Bohdan Taras Kondratiuk Character Analysis

Kondratiuk describes how Ukraine enacted the Redeker Plan. In order to separate the infected and destroy them, they bombed part of the population with nerve gas. Everyone who wasn’t infected died, and when the infected ones reanimated, it was easy for the soldiers to pick them out and kill them.
