1. 1. Ordinary People Don't Carry Machine Guns

   Thoughts on War

   

   A Ukrainian reporter and novelist who becomes a soldier after the 2022 invasion examines how war upends personal beliefs, family life, and everyday routines. In three parts, he reflects on the first days of the conflict, the experiences of ordinary civilians, and the moral questions around who fights and why. The book is a spare, personal account of how war reshapes identity, duty, and relationships without revealing operational details or outcomes.

2. 2. The Ukraine

   

   "The Ukraine" by Artem Chapeye is a unique blend of fiction and reality, where the boundaries between the two are intentionally blurred. The book is composed of interconnected fragments, much like pieces of a puzzle, that together paint a vivid picture of Ukraine at the dawn of the 21st century.
