Book "Загублений острів. Книга репортажів з окупованого Криму"

"Загублений острів" is a collection of reports from occupied Crimea, where renowned journalist Natalia Gumenyuk traveled between 2014 and 2019. The book features real stories and tragedies of people whose lives changed dramatically after 2014, because since then, some Crimeans have been living under occupation, while others have simply found themselves in a different country. So what is their unvarnished truth? Entrepreneurs and retirees, Crimean Tatars, students and civic activists, human rights defenders and military personnel—people with diverse political and ideological views—openly share their stories: some speak of a quiet, deep-seated pain, while others are simply tired of remaining silent and living in fear.

This book is the true voice of annexed Crimea, its polyphony, in which individual stories weave a single shared history that has not yet come to an end.
