Description

Andrey Kurkov's Ukraine Diaries is a personal account of the ongoing crisis in his country, offering a vivid insight into what it's like to live through intense political unrest.

The diaries begin on the first day of pro-European protests in November and describe the violent clashes in the Maidan, Russia's annexation of Crimea, and the separatist uprisings in the east of Ukraine. Kurkov's unique perspective provides a nuanced understanding of the events unfolding around him.

Written from his flat in Kiev, just 500 yards from Independence Square, these dispatches offer a raw and unflinching look at life under siege. With its immediacy and intimacy, Ukraine Diaries is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand this complex and tumultuous period in Ukrainian history.
