This is an automatically translated description

The battle for Kharkiv and its surroundings lasted from 24 February to 11 September 2022. After artillery shelling, the Russians broke through the border at the Hoptivka checkpoint and launched an offensive on Kharkiv. They were convinced that the city would welcome them with love and joy. The city, where residents of the Russian city of Belgorod used to go on weekends to buy clothes, food and entertainment, could not but welcome those with whom they had lived and rested as brothers yesterday. That's what the Russians thought. But the occupiers underestimated the readiness of the army to defend themselves. And they underestimated the civilian population, which will not tolerate coercion to fraternisation with the help of heavy weapons. It was possible to defend Kharkiv and save it from the occupation and the "Russian world" because everyone united. Kharkiv residents fought for their city."

This book contains the stories of 28 people who stood up for Kharkiv and the region. Of course, 28 stories are not the whole of Kharkiv, and they are not the only people who brought victory closer. There are many more. That's why Kharkiv stood firm.
