Dmitriy Goychenko. Krasny apokalipsis: Skvoz raskulachivanie i Golodomor. Memoirs of an eye-witness. (Red Apocalypse: Through Dispossession and Great Famine)
"All the three books were written by Dmytro Hoychenko in the late 1940's - early 1950's in hot pursuit of the experience, using the notes that he miraculously managed to take back from prison. The author of these priceless testimonies, coming from a family of farmers and following his fate to the ranks of militant oppressors of his own class, pursued a successful career. Belonging to the party and Soviet nomenclature, he possessed diverse information about the situation in the society. Gradually starting to see clearer, Hoychenko intensely scrutinized and analyzed everything seen and experienced. This makes his memoir a true encyclopedia of the tragic Ukrainian existence during the Famine.

Published in the original language. This is the only book that A-BA-BA-HA-LA-MA-HA purposefully publishes in Ukraine in the Russian language (the text proves that not only the soul was broken, but also the language)..."
