Bohdan Zholdak. UKRY. (The UKRs)
"The cinematic novel "The UKRs" by the famous Ukrainian writer, playwright, and screenwriter Bohdan Zholdak is battle prose about the modern-day ATO. Almost a hundred years ago, Yuri Yanovsky created the unsurpassed models of his contemporary ATO, having borrowed the facts from narrations by Yurko Tyutyunnyk. "The UKRs" is continuous "action" based on actual events of the Russian-Ukrainian hybrid war, where modern Ukrainians, like characters of "Aeneid", desperately play jokes with death while defending their land and their honor.

For readers of almost all generations."
