"This is a city ballad, a tale for adults about life and death in times of war, where the phantasmagoric and the irreal are interspersed with reality. The novel consists of two parts. The first one is a creepy fairy tale, where in the outskirts of Z, in the three-storied sauna "Fifth Rome", occupiers disappear without a trace, and every morning the anthem of Ukraine is heard, where Colorado beetles with dagger legs turn distribution of humanitarian aid into a slaughterhouse, where, finally, in order to get to Kyiv, one needs to accept death. The second part is short stories written in a realistic manner and woven into the background of the tale. Stories about people living and surviving in Donetsk. True fates, true stories, which make one's heart cringe."
