Cultural / Context information for the jury

Ukraine is overwhelmed with teenage drug use. Every 4-th Kyiv teenager tries drugs. It's never been easier: the walls of residential areas are densely covered with drug dealers' contacts. Teens get drugs through the drug dealers's accounts in the anonymous Telegram messenger: baggies with drugs are hidden in various places throughout the neighborhoods, buyer sends the money and receives the exact location and a photo of the place, where to look for the drugs. We knew that people quit drugs after they tried skydiving, even those who struggled to quit many times before, because nothing compares. And a famously friendly skydiving community helps drug addicts to break free of their toxic environment. An ex heroin addict, who tried to kick the addiction for decades, is now a Russian female skydiving champion!
