Publisher's Synopsis
The morning of February 24, 2022 was completely unforgettable for Ukrainians, when everyone had to decide between two things, and every citizen made their choice. The book that you are holding in your hands could be called autobiographical. This is a short story, a piece of my life, which I hope you will find interesting. Fallen heroes cannot be brought back, but it is our duty to know and respect them. For me, as for any man, the most important thing is to live this earthly life with dignity and not to disgrace our ancestors, who fought and sacrificed for our freedom, who, for centuries, held a shield and a sword in strong hands. The history of my motherland is a clear example of this. I am thankful, full of praise and great gratitude for Ukrainian heroes.
"Freedom is not given for granted. It can only be earned in a bloody battle. Everyone pays for it in their own way: some pay with their life, some pay with their health, and some lose absolutely everything. Everything has its price"
Our swords ward such things from us, Gernot then said,
Since but the fated dieth, so let all such lie dead.
Wherefore I'll ever remember what honour asks of me:
Whoever hath hate against us, shall right welcome be.
The Nibelungenlied
