Yevgeny Yevtushenko tells about the history of the creation of the Thirteenth Symphony by Dmitry Shostakovich, which rightfully belongs to the great works of the 20th century, as well as the history of his poem 'Babi Yar', published in 'Literaturnaya Gazeta' in 1961 and immediately became an event. Shostakovich's music and Yevtushenko's poems told about the tragedy that happened in 1941 and...

Щоденник Володимира Вакуленка-К. — болючі й правдиві записи, які вів письменник від початку повномасштабного вторгнення і під час окупації Ізюма та його рідного села Капитолівки на Харківщині.
