Hopefully, this book will be translated into other languages.
As a person who is Lithuanian - Lithuania is a former Soviet state - I share the author's fury and anger, if that is what it is, for the horrors my country and others experienced under Soviet and Tsarist Russia are too well remembered. For me, it is just pure and undeniable truth that Russia is a terrorist state, that its history is mainly occupation and explotation of surrounding countries. And all parallels between Putin and Hitler are well deserved, though I abhor historical parallels in general if they are stated as almost facts.
Not a perfect book, but important through and through, with tidbits and insights into Ukrainian history and national identity.
