This is an automatically translated description

This book consists of fourteen stories of Crimean Tatar families told to the author by different people, both known and unknown. They share a common pain and a common memory of the horrors of war, persecution, deportation, and famine. From generation to generation, they have been persecuted by the same enemy, no matter what new name it invents for itself each time: the Russian Empire, the USSR, or the Russian Federation. The torture he resorts to is meant to subdue the Crimean Tatars, and in case of disobedience, the inhumans simply destroy the already small nation. As if in reality, the reader will see exhausted teenagers picking cotton in the Hungry Steppe of Uzbekistan. The despair of a woman who is expelled from her home. The grief of the wife of a fallen Ukrainian defender. But these families are united not only by their shared pain, but also by their common desire: to regain their homeland and live in a free Crimea.
