The Heroes of Modernity

About the Book

The bloodiest war of the 21st century began in 2014 with Russia's annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea and occupation of parts of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine. The author of the book took the beginning of this war very close to his heart, because his native home was under Russian occupation. In 2017, he decided to join the fight against the invaders and went to the East of Ukraine, where he joined the Right Sector volunteer corps. There he met people who came to defend their Motherland not for awards, but because of the call of their hearts. These people, who belong to different strata of the population of Ukraine, who have different nationalities, views, gender, age. But these people have one thing in common - boundless love for Ukraine. The author of the book is proud that he got to know them personally. Read about the heroes and look at them closely. This is the face of modern Ukraine. It is a pity that some of the heroes of this book are no longer with us, as bloodthirsty war took them away. However, their memory will live with us forever.
