Polina Zherebtsova. Tonka sriblysta nyt. (The Thin Silvery Thread)
"The thin silvery thread is not just an image, but a symbol of death. The military call it the "trip wire". Insidious like death itself, because it can only be disclosed by an unexpected ray of sunshine – and then it will gleam maliciously, because the victim escapes, and for death – this is a defeat.

Polina Zherebtsova's new book speaks about the two Chechen wars in a strict and unsentimental way, and thus it touches the depths of human consciousness. Here a schoolgirl comes with cans full of jewelry and quietly boasts that her brother, risking his life, brought the two suitcases from a jewelry shop... And they are rescued from starvation due to melted snow or a pot of soup cooked on a fire in the backyard, and search for food in bombed-out buildings, where one may fail to notice a "trip wire"...
