This is a conversation between a journalist Mustafa Nayyem and Yuri Lutsenko that has taken place throughout July 2013, just after the politician was released from prison.
The book is about tête-à-tête meetings with Yanukovych, Yulia Tymoshenko, Victor Yushchenko, a “survival school” among the “criminal lords” and retarded cops. Not only is Yuri Lutsenko a wonderful speaker, he is as well a brilliant storyteller. His clear memory keeps the tiniest details of conversations and observations. Everything is here – from cracker-barrel humor to the tenderest revelations.

This is one of the most explicit books about the political and prison “Augean stables” of Ukraine. This is the conversation capable of being a novella. (Ivan Malkovych)

«I am from the Heavenly Hundred»

the Ukrainian version is from the other side
the Russian version is from one side

The character of the novella by Marko Rudnevych, a young Ukrainian writer, reminds us somehow of the Salinger`s Holden Caulfield. A 19-year old Max from the city of Smila tells us a story of his life easily and frankly: about his University, his fellow students, his family, his beloved girl Ivanka, who studies in Kyiv but her parents want to send her away to study in France… But what happens is the Maidan, and Max goes to Kyiv with his peer.

Ultimately, this is a story about three crucial hours at the Maidan. You will remember everything, you will live through all these restless February days once more and you, maybe, will cry, and you will remember Max from Smila, that simple guy with sincere soul, for a long, long time...
