A series of “sources”—novelistic sections, folk songs, first-person accounts, newspaper accounts—recreate the lives of the people of Ukraine as they resist Russian oppression and terror, centered on the Maidan protests of 2014. Vividly depicts what the Ukrainians have been through since WWII—Russian occupation, forced labor and unjust imprisonment, Victor Yanukovich, the Orange Revolution, Chernobyl, the Maidan massacre, the sexual exploitation of women—but also the resilience and determination of those who have resisted and continue to do so. What happens to a people who live under corrupt governments unconcerned with human rights or dignity? They find ways to love and live and create dignity for themselves. They deserve our help *and* we need to be vigilant against our own would-be dictators.
