The Wild West of Eastern Europe

Having received the awards "Book of the Year of the BBC-2022", the Special Award of the Chapter of the Yury Shevelev Prize, as well as being shortlisted for the 2023 Shevchenko Prize in the nomination "Publicism, Journalism", the book "Wild West of Eastern Europe" impresses with its depth and relevance. It is the travel notes of the author who, having left his home, stayed at home.

The book offers readers a chronology of recent Ukrainian history, an attempt to summarize all changes and unchanging realities. The author goes deeply into the discussion about Ukraine's self-awareness, trying to understand where other people's ideas end and where our own begin. The book addresses questions of historical logic and conclusions, prompting readers to think and discuss. "The Wild West of Eastern Europe" is not only an attempt to systematize our contradictions, but also an appeal to the realities of war and occupation, which may inspire readers to new thoughts and reflections.
