Katerina Gordeeva is one of the most well-known independent journalists in Russia. This is a book about grief. The grief of people with different political views and positions, from different cities in Ukraine and Russia, with different destinies, united by a common tragedy — the war. Gordeeva loves her subjects, and from that trust and love, documentary testimonies of this terrible time are born.
"Someday, Katya Gordeeva's books will be used to study history. Not the history of the war, but the history of the human being in the war. No one was prepared for this experience. And not everyone who might have taken on this work would have had the soul, or perhaps even the desperation of the soul, to hear it all and write it down as Katya is gifted to do," - Svetlana Alexievich.
This year, Katerina Gordeeva received the Anna Politkovskaya Award. For the first time in history, the grand jury awarded this prize unanimously.
