About the book: 2023 / War is the biggest grief imaginable. These are huge human losses, inconsolable tears and animal fear. Despair, fatigue, powerlessness, together with courage, boldness and the unbowed will of the Ukrainians. Our resistance has been going on for more than a year. For more than a year, instead of nourishing grain, Ukrainian fields have been sown with mines and missiles. The roads that have always been used to transport bread, milk and vegetables are now used to transport humanitarian aid, weapons, and ammunition. Cruise missiles and drones filled with explosives are flying in the sky. Our world has changed beyond recognition. Our souls decayed and were resurrected again. The second part of the “Plakhta” dilogy deals with events in the south and east of Ukraine. Stories of residents of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Memories of Kherson residents, Odessa residents, residents of Nikolaev, Melitopol, Ochakov, Kharkov, Izyum. Everyone experienced it to the fullest. Everyone remained loyal to Ukraine. © Irina Govorukha, 2023 All rights reserved.
