This is an automatically translated description

This book is about the Ukrainian communities in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts that existed from the early 2000s until the Russian invasion of 2014, and whose existence was denied by the Russian-Soviet myth of Donbas. About cultural spaces, student communities, Ukrainian villages, and diverse religions. About those who wanted to live not in a mythologised past, but in a free democratic Ukraine.

These communities were the voices of the new, non-Soviet Donetsk and Luhansk regions, embedded in the all-Ukrainian context; the awakening of the lulled (oppressed, exterminated, tortured) Ukrainian people.
