In her monograph "In the Words of Eyewitnesses: Literature from EuroMaidan to the War" Nina Gerasimenko examined the poetry and prose of EuroMaidan and the war on the territory of Ukraine. She paid the most attention to the novels of contemporary Ukrainian writers and participants of the storm events, who depicted what they had seen and experienced on the platform.About the state of current war literature, the author said: "Tragic times produce not only new heroes, but also provide the inspiration for the creation of low masterpieces: books, films, paintings. People take up the pen who would not have done it in ordinary circumstances. Soldiers, officers, volunteers, witnesses of events, young and experienced writers write. The authors try to be honest and write without falsehood about what is happening to Ukrainians who are in the combat zone. Other publications include poetry collections, art novels and novels about the war and people in the war. The number of books about Russian aggression in Donbas is growing. We can absolutely confirm: during 2014-19 years in the Ukrainian contemporary literature there appeared a whole new trend – literature about ATO and OSO, or simply modern war literature". The researcher believes that "nowadays in Ukraine the first stage of the military confrontation is in progress, and the state of war does not allow for a novel format – there is no time for reflection and rethinking, because you have to be able to start and finish the text before you catch a pile".
The publication "Words of Eyewitnesses…" contains a review of books about the Revolution of Hidnosti and the war on the land and their literary analysis, so it will be of interest mainly for scientists, students, teachers and wordsmiths.
Books about the Revolution of Hidnosti and the war at the assembly – "invaluable treasure" for patriotic education of young people – both at school and in the village. This is a "living history" for future generations, so the research materials can be used during the national-patriotic and educational work.
