This is a maliopys about our long war with russia. During the years of full-scale war, there have been many stories, including graphic ones, where foreigners talk about our war. But we are living in this war. And it was important for us to tell about it ourselves. So that both we and foreigners could see it through our eyes, how we feel about it.

Here is a reminder that from a historical point of view, wars are never simple stories, but from a personal point of view, it is a simple question: will I live or not? The historical context of the russian-Ukrainian war, from the Middle Ages to modern Ukraine, emphasizes the ongoing nature of the conflict, its political roots and parallels in time.

And, of course, this book is about our lives now, because behind every conflict there are real people with real stories, forever changed by the chaos of war.
