The online diary of the famous Ukrainian historian Serhiy Troyan reflects on the significant challenges, dangers and events of the first year of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war (24 February 2022 - 24 February 2023). A sensitive man - a Ukrainian, a patriot, a scientist, a diplomat - has created a multifaceted story of a citizen experiencing the tragedies that have split our familiar world. Emotional excursions into the preconditions and historical background, foreign policy, official and unofficial reactions abroad, internal moods, and purely military actions summarise the experience of an average Ukrainian related to life and war, and evoke empathy and great interest in the events described. A number of daily posts posted by the author on Facebook are dedicated to specific defenders of Ukraine - teachers, lecturers, scientists, and the military. The posts contain links to materials, stories, poems, etc. of other people, and contribute to an in-depth understanding of the entire palette of the heroic struggle of Ukrainians who defend not only their independence and freedom, but also European liberal democratic values.
