About this episode
August 25th: Ramil Safarov Born (1977)
One event can alter the course of a person’s entire life. On August 25th 1977 a young man was born and, pretty early in life, was subject to a war between his country and another. A war that lost him family members, forced his move, and altered the course of his life so much he claimed it was the reason he picked up an axe and took the life of a fellow soldier who happened to be from the country he hated.
