        Metrophobia

        by Myroslav Laiuk

        Metrophobia is the second book of poetry by Miroslav Layuk. It is the space of language and the world it creates. A world that begins with small autobiographical stories (according to the author), marked with a dash-and-dot line of school trees, abandoned buildings, nursing homes, children's mental hospitals and cemeteries, and it grows into a Sonnetarium – the grand and disparate world of Ezra, in which all connoisseurs of this not very common today poetic genre will live luxuriously. The splendid artistic design by Zhanna Kadyrova further reveals this world, gives it a structure and monumental features, but at the same time seems to build a separate parallel, a separate perspective of movement into the depth of consideration, reading, and interpretation. Metrophobia was recognized as the best poetry collection of 2015 by the annual LitAkcent Literary Prize.

        Philosophy of Freedom

        by Myroslav Popovych

        The book "Philosophy of Freedom" by Myroslav Popovych is part of the "Great Scientific Project" series, which collects the works of various authors. Myroslav Volodymyrovych was a great Ukrainian philosopher and thinker, an outstanding personality, and for many years he headed the Institute of Philosophy named after G. Skovoroda. In different years, he wrote articles and essays that were published in various journals in Ukraine and abroad. "Philosophy of Freedom" is a collection of essays and thoughts, which he himself systematised during the last months of his life. The author witnessed many historical events, and remembering them, he sought to understand why everything happened this way and not the other, whether anything could have been changed, whether the past of the Ukrainian people had an influence on them. Popovych searched for the truth, because it was the most important goal for him, and now posterity can find out what conclusions he reached. The topics of his interest vary, but mostly he researched theories and objects, and analysed historical events.

        The Universe behind Barbed Wire: Memoirs and Reflections of a Dissident

        by Myroslav Marynovych

        The author of the book served 10 years in prison in a concentration camp and was in exile in Brezhnev times for participating in the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Group (UHG). It was the first legal, not underground, group of the Resistance Movement, which, acting for a long time, revealed to the whole world the situation with the human rights in Ukraine under the Soviet rule. Born in Galicia after the World War 2 and brought up in a Soviet school, the author shows in his memoirs the role of the Galician family in shaping the position of resistance to the totalitarian regime. He tells vigorously, interestingly and frankly about life in Kiev under the Soviets in the era of the Helsinki movement, about the activities of the UHG and its members, about unjust arrests, and Soviet crooked justice. He recounts in detail the life of political prisoners in a concentration camp, describes the circumstances of his exile in Kazakhstan. He pays great attention to the spiritual growth of a person, shares his reflections on dissidence and the nature of totalitarianism. And conclusively, he condemns the communist system.

        Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky and the "positive-sum" principle

        by Myroslav Marynovych

        The book contains a thorough analysis of the preaching heritage of Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky from the point of view of its compliance (or non-compliance) with the methodological principle, which is now called "positive-sum" or "win-win". The Metropolitan derived the genesis of this way of thinking from theology, and the author finds examples of its application by the Metropolitan himself in the messages of Andrei Sheptytsky in the field of economic relations, national relations, state building, inter-confessional and inter-religious relations. The author supplemented this scientific research with his own vision of what role the positive-sum principle and the formula of Metropolitan Andrey can play in the near future of Ukraine and the world.
