This is an automatically translated description

This collection is the first anthology of Ukrainian military poetry: poems dedicated to the themes of wars and revolutions, uprisings and underground organisations. Among the authors included in the collection are both direct participants in the liberation struggle and well-known classics whose military and revolutionary backgrounds are usually not discussed. The presented poems allow us to see such authors as Antonych, Teliha, Bahrianyi, Malaniuk, and many others in a new light. From poems about medieval Rus and the Cossacks to ballads about the OUN and the anthem of the Gulag uprising, these poems reveal an unusual side of Ukrainian literature: militant and inspiring to fight instead of suffering.
