Dark Days, Determined People: Stories from Ukraine under Siege

Autor Orysia Hrudka, Bohdan Ben Andreas Umland Cuvânt înainte de Myroslav Marynovych
en Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2024
After Russia attacked Ukraine from the north, east, and south in February 2022, many Ukrainians had to put their lives on hold to protect the very possibility of living in their homes. While telling wartime stories of people of different backgrounds, this book also delves into the wider historical, political, and cultural context of life in Ukraine. How did two friends save hundreds of civilians, and how did one restaurant manage to feed a besieged city? What is it like to live under Russian occupation? What does a former businessman feel as he evacuates the bodies of fallen soldiers, day after day? Why do some people choose to live amid the rubble of their homes? And what is it like to fight continuously for ten years? Each of these 20 stories reveals an important theme of life during the full-scale war, with all its difficulties, hesitations, and inner conflicts, when reality sometimes surpasses fiction.

Recenzii

This book tells stories of ordinary Ukrainians who became heroes fighting on the frontline and aiding the rear of defense, in service of their country against Russia’s aggression. Anyone who wants to know the reality of war should read this book. — Winfried Schneider-Deters, Director of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation’s Kyiv Office in 1996–2000
This book unfolds the daily sacrifices Ukrainian soldiers and volunteers make, in their own words. — Michael Bociurkiw, Senior Fellow Atlantic Council, global affairs analyst (CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera).
Dark Days, Determined People reveals the profound depth and extent to which Ukraine and its survival matter. — Bohdan Kordan, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Political Studies, University of Saskatchewan.
Dark Days, Determined People is a display of bravery. The book flourishes with courage, not only from Ukraine’s soldiers and volunteers but also from reporters like Hrudka and Ben, who dare to venture into war-torn cities like Irpin, Chernihiv, and other Ukrainian regions to deliver realistic, honest, and prolific reportage. In this formative book, Orysia Hrudka and Bohdan Ben transform not only reporting from Ukraine but also the quality—and importance—of nonfiction writing during this critical time in Ukraine’s history and existence. — Nicole Yurcaba, Southern New Hampshire University; World Literature Today.
