This is an automatically translated description

The diary of Volodymyr Vakulenko-K. is a painful and truthful record kept by the writer from the beginning of the full-scale invasion and during the occupation of Izium and his native village of Kapitolivka in the Kharkiv region. Up until his abduction by the Nazis, which he knew was inevitable, as well as the fact that he had little chance of survival - because he was Ukrainian, because he was a volunteer and activist, because he had dignity. The day before his abduction, Volodymyr hid his diary under a cherry tree in his yard, bequeathing it to his father: "When our people come, you will give it back." How does it feel to live under occupation? What do people become like? What does it reveal to your eyes and heart? And today, on Poetry Day, a small crane key greeted me in the sky, and I could hear it through their "cawing": "Everything will be Ukraine! I believe in victory!" Volodymyr Vakulenko-K.

The book includes texts from the occupation diary, selected poetry by Volodymyr Vakulenko-K. for children and adults, as well as stories from friends, colleagues and eyewitnesses that will immerse you in the chronicle of the first months of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.
