Vradiivka, Oksana Makar, the arbitrariness of Yanukovych's "family", the rapacity of judges and oligarchs, separatism in the Crimea and Donbas, Maidan, the capture of Slovyansk, the first victims and the first heroes of the Ukrainian-Russian war... The episodes of the contemporary Ukrainian history in the book of a Polish writer Katarzyna Kwiatkowska-Moskalewicz are depicted from an unusual for us perspective of an outside observer, but not a stranger.
This book, which is based on people's stories, and which the author had been writing for more than ten years, is about the struggle with our internal monster, which cannot be killed, and about the strength that won't let Ukraine give up in this struggle.
