The pages of this collection also feature portrayals of civilians—from volunteers to those evading mobilization, from social media “experts” to Instagram coaches. The author focuses on the interaction between civilians and soldiers, as well as five distinct types of frontline humor. However, this work is not only about military life but also about the lives of Ukrainians during the war in general. It touches not only on the real but also on the symbolic aspects of the author’s journey.
The book «Усе на три літери» was written by Dmytro Krapyvenko, a Ukrainian journalist and publicist who joined the ranks of the Ukrainian Defense Forces at the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion. The collection is presented in the form of memoirs. They are free of grandstanding and possess a penetrating and sincere atmosphere. With this book, the author pays tribute to fallen soldiers, expresses his respect for those currently serving, and provides motivation for those who have not yet decided to become defenders. The book will also be of interest to people who want to see the military from the inside and learn what it’s like to be a part of it.
