Battle for Life: Diary of 2022

«Battle for Life: Diary of 2022» is a chronicle-diary that describes the events that unfolded in Ukraine from the end of 2021 to the beginning of 2023, against the backdrop of the growing threat from Russia and its full-scale invasion. The book consists of notes, entries, essays, and sketches that the author made during this period. The diary is framed by graphic paintings by Anatoly Dnistrovsky, some of which he created during the blackout by candlelight in the winter of 2022-2023. The book allows the reader to see from the inside how Ukrainians experienced the first months of the war, to feel their fear, pain, despair, but also to show their titanic resilience, unity, and will to victory. This publication is rightly noted by critics and readers as «one of the most important books about the war in Ukraine», «a true testament to human resilience» and «a book that cannot be forgotten».
