… For a moment, for example, a separately standing smoking pine tree was shown and immediately disappeared from the field of view … Occasionally there were green islands bordered by a gleaming flame through the smoke … Some winding tape, slightly lighter in color, stretched through the black space on the ground, making smooth turns one way or the other. I did not immediately guess that this is a forest river, along the banks of which only the tops of trees burned, and the lower part of the crown, located close to the water, remained green, only very dry, as if in deep autumn. A few black rectangles scattered randomly on the bank of this burnt forest river could not be anything but a small village, burned to the ground, through the smoke it was possible to distinguish the gleaming fire on the burning logs. There was a dead forest under us.
