Maxim Kolomiets, a former Soviet policeman, then a Gulag prisoner and saboteur, finds himself in the Volyn forests by a whim of fate and joins the Ukrainian insurgents.
In this novel, Kolomiets is already the commander of a UPA unit with the pseudonym Skhidnyak. And the UPA does not trust the Skhidnyaks very much. However, no one but Kolomiyets can lead a combat group that goes on a dangerous raid from Volyn to Kyiv region.
Here, in the Soviet rear, the rebels have to campaign and prepare sabotage. Not everyone will reach the place alive. Not everyone will survive the battle with the NKVD. But the survivors will avenge the deaths of their comrades."
Book 2. The
Black Forest
In the Black Forest in Volyn, Ukrainians are fighting a mortal battle on three fronts: with the Germans, Russians, and Poles. The protagonist, a former policeman from Myrhorod, a convict, a Soviet saboteur, has a hard time figuring out who the enemy of his people is. However, his innate desire for justice leaves him in no doubt as to whose side the truth is on, and the rapid unfolding of events in which he finds himself prompts him to defend it with arms in hand.
Book 3: Red. Without a Front Line
The film novel «Red. Without a Front Line is the long-awaited sequel to Red, a book that, even before its successful film adaptation, gained cult status in Ukraine!
This is an incredible story! The rebel commander Danylo Chervonyi did not go missing after a daring escape from a death camp. The UPA soldier survived and won in the inhumane conditions of the eternal Vorkuta permafrost. To understand how he did it, we have to go back ten years and see Chervonyi as a young lyceum student who is just beginning his fight for freedom. His path is seen and evaluated in their own way by his youthful friend Myron, the rebel Maria, a Soviet saboteur and the daughter of an «enemy of the people»
