Description

Olena Stiazhkina's Ukraine, War, Love: A Donetsk Diary is a powerful and poignant account of life in Donetsk during Russia's 2014 invasion and occupation. Spanning nearly six months, the diary chronicles the author's experiences with sarcasm, anger, humor, and love as she navigates the increasingly harrowing series of events unfolding around her.

From the early days of pro-Russian protests to the deliberate slaughter of a convoy of civilian refugees, Stiazhkina's diary offers a unique and intimate perspective on ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. With vignettes from her personal life intermingling with current events, this book is a fierce love letter to her country, city, and people.

Through her writing, Stiazhkina sheds light on the human cost of war and occupation, revealing the resilience and strength of those affected by conflict. This powerful diary is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of modern conflict and its impact on individuals and communities.
