"Iryna Slavinska describes from her own experience the realities of the city during the war. And how "peaceful" or "rear" regions must adapt

to the realities of war. This book is about shifting priorities, relative safety, historical memory, a sense of home, city, and people being connected to each other. About how the war robbed us of peace, friends, homes, but unexpectedly deprived us of everything superfluous - things, hopes, fears. We became more frank, sharper and at the same time much stronger.

"Like once" will never happen again, but "after victory" will definitely come.
