OST: novel in 3 volumes. Volume 3: Gathering in front of yourself - Samchuk U. (9789660386778)

“Escape from Self” is the last novel in the “OST” trilogy. Each of the three volumes of the OST reproduces a part of Ukrainian history of the twentieth century. The events of “Flight from Self” begin in 1945 in Germany. The main characters - Ivan Moroz and his daughter Vera - must make a difficult choice: go to the West or return to Soviet Ukraine. The exit of a Ukrainian beyond the national space is not defined by Ulas Samchuk as an “escape from oneself”, but as a historical necessity for self-preservation of the individual to return and fulfill his national mission
