In today's conditions, this book and the figure it tells about have become more relevant than ever. Petro Bolbochan is the commander who liberated Crimea from occupation and returned it to Ukraine under the rule of the UPR Directory. He paid for his beliefs and steely will with his life, which was taken from him not by the enemy, but by his own compatriots.
He was called a counter-revolutionary, an old regime general, a reactionary, and accused of treason. White Guard and Bolshevik agents hunted for him, and numerous intrigues were woven. Colonel Petro Bolbochan, the legendary commander and creator of the volunteer Zaporizhzhia Division, was hated by blacks, whites, and reds. Even by his own people; the desire to serve Ukraine and his own people, not parties or vested interests, was Petro Bolbochan's greatest crime. Despite all the obstacles, the Zaporizhzhia Division became one of the most capable units of the UPR Army. They were feared and respected.
The historical novel «Between Two Fires» will tell about the formation and struggle of the Zaporizhzhia Division, shed light on the contradictions with the government and individual politicians, and give the reader an understanding of who the famous Petro Bolbochan was.
