This is an automatically translated description

The scale of the First World War shook the whole world and destroyed the old European ways of life. Against the backdrop of large and small battles and military operations, in addition to their direct participants, the burden of war fell on the civilian population, which became hostage to military events. Austrian Chernivtsi was under Russian occupation three times, and the Russian military and civilian administration persistently sought to bring the city into the "Russian world." The chronicle of the events that unfolded in the regional capital of Bukovyna was recorded and described with great empathy and responsibility by Julius Weber, the editor of the then Chernivtsi newspaper Czernowitzer Tagblatt.

The book uses photographs from the private collections of Serhiy Osachuk, Volodymyr Zapolovsky, Mykola Salahor, and Ivan Snihur.
