new representation
a novel about the war in Ukraine based on true experiences
Since the beginning of the attack on Ukraine, Sergei Gerasimov has been staying in his apartment in Kharkiv writing writing writing. In addition to his Notes from Kharkiv, published as a non-fiction book and daily in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, since day one of the attack, he has now finished a fiction novel NOTHING NEW ON THE EASTERN FRONT. Permeated with true experiences, the fiction novel makes the great suffering the war has brought to Ukraine, with all its cruelty and psychological abysses tangible, understandable and bearable.
Finally, at the age of 32, Angelina marries Gleb, who as a twelve -year-old schoolboy climbed the 250-meter-high chimney of the disused Soviet factory as a sign of his love. What they don‘t know is that two days after their wedding, Russian tanks will roll through their small town and destroy everything. They don’t know yet that seven months of occupation with all its harrowing moments lie ahead.
