Książka "Apartament w hotelu wojna. Reportaż z Donbasu. Wydanie 2" by Tomas Forro

"Donetsk is a city like any other - as long as you don't take into account the war in its suburbs, the emptiness in the streets and the fear in the back of your mind."

Mamuka took part in the war in Georgia as a 14-year-old boy, and years later landed on the front lines in the Donbass, where he shot at Russians with automatic weapons, fought them hand-to-hand and targeted their positions against mortar fire. Yura is a criminal who found his way into the ranks of pro-Russian fighters. Liza lived in the suburbs of Lugansk. When she left for a few weeks to take refuge from separatist attacks, she didn't suspect she wouldn't be back.

Tomáš Forró reports on the war in Donbass from the heart of the conflict. He talks to people on both sides of the front, often risking his life and secretly going where no journalist ventures. He provides insightful descriptions of the political situation in eastern Ukraine and Russia's hybrid warfare tactics, in which conventional warfare mixes with guerrilla warfare and facts with propaganda. His analyses are inextricably linked to the stories of people for whom the war and its aftermath are a painful daily reality. The big politics here are intertwined with the small, and the fate of soldiers with the fate of ordinary families for whom the conflict has taken everything.
