The Last Kozak — teaser preview frame

He has no name — everyone calls him the Last Kozak. Trapped in a time loop, he must defeat evil again and again. A stylized action-fantasy with comic-book editing, psychological depth, and a cossack who rides the Iron Dog through worlds that meet at the Last Khreshchatyk.
