Video blogger, successful entrepreneur, subtle connoisseur and promoter of tea culture, active participant in right-wing début, expert in the Rites and Traditions of the Ancestors, brand ambassador of Sva.Stone - the palette of roles and hobbies of Lyubomir Boroda is so wide and diverse that it would seem easy to imagine another, even the most unexpected, hypostasis of him. For example, a volunteer. Since 2014, for 8 years, he has been organising powerful systemic assistance to Azov and the Right Sector, and since 2022 he has been in the mainstream of the volunteer movement in Mykolaiv.
It's hard to imagine Lubomyr as, say, a Russian punk rocker or a prisoner. But this crazy fantasy would not really be a fantasy. Because it is reality. The reality of another life. In the world that is next door.
In 2000, Yuriy Karlash was unjustly sentenced by a Russian court to 6 years and 6 months in a general regime colony and actually spent 4 years behind bars. After his release, he told his extraordinary story in a book.
It is interesting that Yuriy met with the outrageous Russian politician Eduard Limonov in the colony while serving his sentence, and the author shares the fact of this meeting. But even more interestingly, Limonov, when he was released, also wrote a book about the colony, in which he mentioned Yurii.
But the book The World Next Door is important not because of these literary overlaps, but primarily because of its sincere account of an experience that not so many people actually have. But only a few can reflect on it. Our author did.
