Praise
“A nuanced, melancholy, sophisticated and gratifyingly intimate glimpse into war-torn Ukraine”
—Yanis Varoufakis, author of Technofeudalism
“The huge choruses of these times will probably go down in history as mere noise. Might the lone voice of Ishchenko then sound prophetic?”
—Georgi Derluguian, author of Bourdieu’s Secret Admirer in the Caucasus
“A brilliant cri de cœur from a Soviet Ukrainian searching the historical horizon for a political model beyond neoliberalism and regressive nationalism”
—Dylan Riley, author of Microverses
“[A] pugnacious debut … those wanting a better understanding of the Russia-Ukraine conflict would do well to check out this left-wing analysis.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A singular contribution to the rejuvenation of critical Eastern European scholarship … the questions that Ishchenko raise[s] are itineraries for theoretical reflections and a hope … for a modern and universalist politics worthy of its name”
—Bogdan Ovcharuk, LeftEast
“The collection is valuable for its retrospective analysis, with Ishchenko’s clear-eyed insights coming at a time when few dare to examine the still-fresh wound that is recent Ukrainian history, or to think about anything but the next few months of fighting.”
—Signe Swanson, Cleveland Review of Books
“A rare, but necessary, corrective to the currently dominant explanation of the roots of these events in the West.”
—Vladimir Unkovski-Korica, Counterfire
