| Serhiy Kazimir, a Ukrainian officer, stood against Russiaâ s aggression in 2022, only to be captured during a reconnaissance mission on March 11. Imprisoned for 691 days, he was liberated in a prisoner exchange on January 31, 2024. While some of his comrades remain captive, Serhiyâ s story of survival and resilience comes to light. Vahur Laiapea, an Estonian documentary filmmaker and prolific author, has ventured into Ukraine fifteen times since the warâ s onset, capturing the human side of conflict in his works, including Diaries from Ukraine (2025). His writing bridges the emotional divide, bringing the reader face-to-face with the war's impact on individuals. His narratives, steeped in pain, are not for the faint-hearted but are essential for those brave enough to engage with the truth. In spring 2024, Laiapea started documenting Serhiyâ s life post-captivity, and from those interviews, this book emerged. It is Serhiyâ s raw testimony of his ordeal. As these lines are being written, Serhiy is back on the front line, defending Ukraine near Pokrovsk in Donbas. |
