About the book: 2022 / The new novel by the outstanding modern Russian writer Alexander Mozhaev tells about the warring Donbass, about the fratricidal conflict in the South-East of the former Ukraine. This is a story because of a “trait” that the author knows firsthand. The central image of the novel carries a lot of autobiography - the image of Ataman, a guide to groups of Russian volunteers walking along secret paths to the Donbass militia. Bypassing Ukrainian tripwires and Aidar ambushes.
