From Ukraine’s leading writer-activist comes an intimate account
of resistance and survival in the earliest months of the
Russian-Ukrainian war “A vivid, in-the-trenches report
from a Ukrainian city and its ‘injured, yet unbreakable’
citizens.”—Kirkus Reviews When Russia invaded Ukraine
on February 24, 2022, Serhiy Zhadan took to social media to
coordinate a network of resistance workers and send messages of
courage to his fellow Ukrainians. What began as a local organizing
effort exploded onto the international stage as readers around the
globe looked to Zhadan as a key eyewitness documenting Russian
atrocities. In this powerful record of the war’s
harrowing first four months, Zhadan works day and night in Kharkiv
to evacuate children and the elderly from suburbs that have come
under fire. He sends lists of life-saving medications to the West
in the hopes of procuring them for civilians, coordinates food
deliveries, collects money for military equipment, and organizes
concerts. He shares photographs of the open sky—grateful for
every pause in the shelling—and captures images of beloved
institutions reduced to rubble. We’ll restore everything. We’ll
rebuild everything, he writes. As the days pass, the city
empties. Friends are killed. And when images of the Bucha massacre
are released, Zhadan’s own voice falters: I’m speechless. Hang
in there, my friends. Tomorrow, we’ll wake up one day closer to
our victory. An intimate work of witness literature, this book is
at once the testimony of one man entering a new reality and the
story of a society fighting for the right to exist.
