"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..." Texts edited by the authors. Attention! Profanity occurs. In Ukrainian. Type of the edition: hard cover Format: 116x165 mm Number of pages: 256 Publisher: Bookclub, Kharkiv

While the old technologies built the vertical of power or religion, where the voice from below could not be heard on the top, modern technologies make it possible for everyone to be heard. This constitutes a rather serious test for the authorities, because they are accustomed to that only they are heard..

The book is focused ob information wars and information semantic ones. Information warfare works on facts, as a result we receive facts that are false or even totally opposite to reality. The war of meanings works on interpretations based on the existing model of the world, while facts may be subject to change at the level of interpretations.

These poems were composed by Israeli poet Tirza Atar. She composed them long ago, in the mid 70s. Sure, not about our reality – but about theirs, for the war has long been grown into normal lives of people there. And it is creepy that these poems – written on behalf of a seven year-old Jewish girl – are so much in unison with our reality..
