Artistic‑documentary texts written in Ukraine at the end of 2019. The collection includes the autobiography of someone living on the streets of Podil, prison memories from a linguistic university student, an exploration of a poisoned lake and its adapted creatures, reflections on the body of a dead dolphin, and an account of a deputy who recognizes a hospital as a portal to hell. Also featured are the curious “Google Borscht Results” alongside several other compelling pieces.
