The young artist and writer Yevgenia Belorusets was in her hometown of Kyiv when Putin's "special military operation" against Ukraine began on the morning of February 24, 2022. With power and clarity, this book documents the long beginning of the devastation and its effects on the ordinary residents of Ukraine; what it feels like to interact with the strangers who suddenly become your "countrymen;" the struggle to make sense of a good mood on a spring day; the new danger of a routine coffee run. Print run 8,000.
