This is an automatically translated description

Oleg Sentsov is a Ukrainian film director, screenwriter and writer, civil activist. He is the winner of the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought and the Taras Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine. He was detained in Crimea in May 2014 and sentenced to 20 years in a Russian prison on terrorism charges.

«Life» — is a collection of autobiographical stories. This is a book for everyone who still hasn't found an answer to the question of why Oleg helped the Ukrainian military in Crimea, why he spoke openly about the war in Ukraine unleashed by Russia, why he went on a hunger strike and didn't ask for clemency. These texts introduce us to the author during a period of important internal search and change for him, when he seeks to understand who he is, what path he will follow and from which he will never leave.

This is the first publication of Oleg Sentsov's works translated into Ukrainian, which are presented alongside the Russian-language originals. This is an extremely important book for Oleg, and even while in detention, he actively participated in its publication.
