Iran through the eyes of a military surrealist: monuments to the dead.
Iran, generally considered a country without sentimentality, preserves the memory of the dead with incredible persistence: monuments, posters, entire galleries along the highway. The main plot is the Minba tragedy, in which a missile destroyed a school and 180 girls. This death surprisingly rallied even dissidents around the authorities, and Minab Flight 168 and propaganda anime videos became part of the new Iranian mythology.
Reporter Valentin Naknov traveled through the cities of Iran and saw how the war turns into a memorial service - and why there are no more protests after Minav.
