'Will someone pay for the spilled blood? No. Nobody.' Mikhail
Bulgakov wrote these words in Kiev during the turmoil of the
Russian Civil War. Since then Ukrainian borders have shifted
constantly and its people have suffered numerous military foreign
interventions that have left them with nothing. As a state, Ukraine
exists only since 1991 and what it was before is controversial
among its people as well as its European neighbours. Writing in a
simple and vivid way, Jens Muhling narrates his encounters with
nationalists and old Communists, Crimean Tatars and Cossacks,
smugglers, archaeologists and soldiers, all of whose views could
hardly be more different. Black Earth connects all these stories to
convey an unconventional and unfiltered view of Ukraine - a country
at the crossroads of Europe and Asia and the centre of countless
conflicts of opinion.
