True stories2020ISOLATION. Secret prisons of Donbas in the stories by people saved from torture and death
by Daria Bura, Iryna Vovk
The book of recollections of those, who went through hell and survived: prisoners of Donetsk and Luhansk prisoners, infamous "Isolation", Donbas colonies. These are the stories of those who were exchanged as prisoners of war on December 29, 2019, those who kissed the Ukrainian land at the "Maiorsk" checkpoint. Despite the controversy over the exchange itself, those who sacrificed their lives, families, peace, and health returned home. Ukrainian soldiers, journalists, bloggers, military aides, doctors, and locals talk about the life "before" and "after", about the life of Donbas during the war, about the atrocities and crimes of militants, about the horrors and tortures in captivity.

Poetry2020Stonegardenwoods
by Iryna Shuvalova
The title Iryna Shuvalova’s book Stonegardenwoods brings to mind the magic happening in an alchemist's retort. Likewise, in her poems, people break down into elements, and the world of things suddenly echoes with human voices. Eliminating the gaps not only between words but also between things, the author explores the phenomenon of memory at its deepest, most organic levels, where relatives and strangers interlace by circulatory systems, like trees with roots. This book is about belonging to time, place, and people and the inability to relate to any one of them.

You can't do anything because of these news... For not allowing anyone to rewrite our history, to put in it something that did not exist, like the Russians do when they swear black is white, we decided to collect people's memories of the first days of a full-scale invasion.
