      abstract = {In Ukraine, War, Love, Olena Stiazhkina depicts day-to-day  developments in and around her beloved hometown Donetsk  during Russia's 2014 invasion and occupation of the  Ukrainian city. An award-winning fiction writer, Stiazhkina  chronicles an increasingly harrowing series of events with  sarcasm, anger, humor, and love.The diary opens on March 2,  2014, as the first wave of pro-Russian protest washes over  eastern Ukraine in the wake of Euromaidan, the Revolution  of Dignity, and it closes on August 18, 2014, the day a  convoy of civilian Ukrainian refugees is deliberately  slaughtered by Russian forces. Early on, Stiazhkina is  captured by pro-Russian forces while she browses for books  but is freed when one of her captors turns out to be a  former student. Vignettes from her personal life  intermingle with current events, and she examines ordinary  people in extraordinary circumstances. We walk with local  dogs and their owners; we meet a formidable apartment  building manager who shames occupiers and dismantles their  artillery from the roof of her building; we follow a family  evacuated to Kyiv whose young son builds checkpoints out of  Legos. Olena Stiazhkina's Ukraine, War, Love: A Donetsk  Diary is a fierce love letter to her country, her city, and  her people.},
