This edition is unconventional. In addition to the traditional narrative about herself and her surroundings, the journalist and sixtier Marharyta Dovhan has added several prose sketches, essays, and memories about courageous and bright Ukrainians with whom life and her profession intertwined. Furthermore, she dared to include a series of poetic attempts from various times. These works will complement and deepen the reader’s understanding of a person with a complex but, ultimately, happy fate. The book will inspire optimism—the only creative force upon which the sixties generation relied in their fight for Independence, and which will help us in the difficult present to defend Ukraine's freedom. The memoirs will interest both the young and older generations—everyone concerned about the life and activities of those close to us throughout nearly a century of our complex history.
