The storylines and people collected in this book are staggering. Tragedies, the journey of the Ukrainian people from incomprehension to fury, via rage... A wound that is now permanent. How can one live with that? And what about hope? Is hope now gone forever? And what if you cannot change anything? Rainer Werner Fassbinder once noted that even if you cant change anything, that doesnt remove your duty to document everything. What Gordeeva documents changes the world, too. Youre now about to experience that for yourself. * Dmitry Muratov, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize * Details ISBN0753560593 Author Lisa C.
