Diary of Volodymyr Vakulenko-K. painful and true records that the writer kept from the beginning of the full-scale invasion and during the occupation of Izyum and his native village of Kapitolivka in Kharkiv Oblast. Until the abduction by the Rashists, the inevitability of which he was aware of, as well as the fact that he had little chance of survival - because he is Ukrainian, because he is a volunteer and activist, because he has dignity. The day before the abduction, Volodymyr hid the diary under a cherry tree in his yard, telling his father: "When ours come, I'll give it to you." What is it like to live under occupation? What do people become? What opens before the eyes and in the heart? And today, on Poetry Day, I was greeted by a small cranberry key in the sky, and through their "chirps" it seemed to be heard: "Everything will be Ukraine! I believe in victory!" Volodymyr Vakulenko-K.
The book includes the texts of the occupation diary, selected poetry of Volodymyr Vakulenko-K. for children and adults, as well as stories from friends, colleagues and eyewitnesses, which will dive into the chronicle of the first months of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.
