This is an automatically translated description

The epic trilogy by the famous Ukrainian writer and statesman Volodymyr Shovkoshytnyi, The Blood of the Holy, seems to shake off the shell of enemy myths from our history and presents the reader with the temple of Ukrainian statehood without scaffolding. And at the same time, it shows the way to purify collective memory by freeing it from the silt of Little Russia and inferiority, by instilling in Ukrainian society the gene of dignity and self-respect and the psychology of victory. This is our Ukrainian analogue of War and Peace or The Quiet Don. It is very Ukrainian. And very European. The author seems to be warning us, Europeans, that if the flow of the Gulf Stream slows down, our Europe will face severe frosts, and the whole world will never be so cosy to live in again. No matter how many interesting and evidence-based historical studies appear, only fiction based on mythology can bring about a shift in collective memory. A few pinnacle works are not enough for such a shift, let alone openly pop adventure writing on a given topic.
