Volontery. Mobilizatsia dobra. (Volunteers. Mobilization of the Good)
"The bright fabrics of poems, short stories, and essays by ten famous Ukrainian authors make one reflect on the phenomenon of volunteering – the recent events made us closely face this phenomenon. There is some sense in the saying that in difficult times the evil become more evil, while the good – even kinder. A war is always a marker. A marker of hatred and humanism. For there are those who sow hatred, and there are those who do that with love. This book is about the latter. About the ordinary people around us who sometimes seem to be true Atlases, on whose shoulders our world rests. About those who are doing extraordinary things for soldiers, the wounded, orphans, refugees from morning till night seeking for opportunities to help. These are volunteers. Peaceful Warrior of Light. Each of us can be that..."

Aram Pachian. Robinzon. (Robinson)


..In that world, the reader, the characters, and the author get interwoven as a single tangle, a node of sheer nerves, from which shapes of Yerevan, streets, districts, objects, and traditions leap here and there.
