Is it possible to love your homeland if the actions of your compatriots go against the principles on which you were raised and brought up? What to do if it seems like nothing depends on you? Who is to blame for the fact that the state border becomes the front line, friends and relatives become victims of war?

The authors of the stories are prize-winners and laureates of prestigious competitions and awards, including international ones; they represent different countries (not only Russia and Ukraine) and even different continents. Writers ask questions - and help their readers find answers.

The collection is recommended for readers aged 10 to 14.
