4546 - Hardin, Montana, United States

Hardin is about 530 kilometres from where I live. This city of approximately 3800 people is located east of Billings, Montana. It was named after Samuel Hardin (1846–1921), a friend of developer Charles Henry Morrill. In 1937, the Holly Sugar Corporation established a sugar beet processing plant in Hardin.

Hardin is located just north of the Crow Indian Reservation, which was established in 1868. The Crow Tribe has approximately 11,000 enrolled members, about 7,900 of whom live on the reservation. Crow is spoken as a first language by approximately 20 per cent of the population.

Local residents tried to stop the convoy on their own by blocking tank tracks with makeshift objects and convincing Russian soldiers not to move towards Kyiv . One man attempted to climb onto a tank and block the road with his body (he was not hurt). However, the military equipment continued to move, and Russian forces fired several shots into the air.
