Jedna od glavnih briga Ukrajinaca je nedostatak razumijevanja i poznavanja zemlje i njezine povijesti. Kao dio Europe, Ukrajina je bila nevidljiva toliko godina. A sada, kada ukrajinski narod treba pomoć u borbi za slobodu, važno je da ljudi različitih podrijetla vide Ukrajinu, čitaju o njoj i njezinim stanovnicima.
“Ukrajina mi je dala trideset godina života bez cenzure, bez diktature, bez kontrole nad onim što sam pisao i što sam govorio. Za to sam beskrajno zahvalan svojoj zemlji. Sada vrlo dobro razumijem da ako Rusija uspije zauzeti Ukrajinu, sve slobode na koje su građani Ukrajine toliko navikli bit će izgubljene, zajedno s neovisnošću naše države.”
Kurkov Andrej
“Diary of an invasion”, knjiga bilješki, eseja i prijenosa poznatog ukrajinskog pisca Andreja Kurkova, nudi uvid u život i misli Ukrajinaca suočenih s totalnim ratom 2022. godine.

“U početku nismo razumjeli što je rat. Ne možeš ga razumjeti dok ga ne vidiš i ne čuješ.”

Ukrainian voices: literature in the times of war
One of the main concerns of Ukrainians is the lack of comprehension and understanding of the country and its history. Being a part of Europe, Ukraine has been invisible for so many years. And now, when Ukrainian people need help in their fight for freedom, it is essential to let people of different backgrounds see Ukraine, read about it and its inhabitants.
“Ukraine has given me thirty years of life without censorship, without dictatorship, without control over what I wrote and what I said. For this, I am infinitely grateful to my country. I now understand very well that if Russia succeeds in seizing Ukraine, all the freedoms that the citizens of Ukraine are so used to will be lost, together with the independence of our state”.
Kurkov Andrey
“Diary of an invasion”, a book of notes, essays and broadcasts by a famous Ukrainian writer, Andrey Kurkov, offers an insight into the life and thoughts of Ukrainians in the face of a full-scale war in 2022. The author, known to his audience through his books Death and the Penguin and Grey Bees, lets the reader into his thoughts and experiences of childhood, days before the war, and during the time of invasion. All that — in a form easy to read and understand.
‘At first we did not understand what war was.
You can`t understand it until you see it and hear it.`
