Letter Z: Chronicles of Peace and War

Final-year students at the Cinematography Institute are swamped with demands: choosing a topic, crafting a killer script, and shooting a graduation film to earn their degree.

But these are anxious times. Russia has amassed a formidable military force along Ukraine’s borders. How can anyone concentrate?

Time is running out—the war has already begun. Though few believed it possible, it erupts like a ruthless steamroller, emblazoned with a crude letter Z, flattening millions of lives in its path.

Letter Z is the first comprehensive attempt to capture how it all unfolded—an epic novel chronicling two years of Russian aggression in Ukraine. Blending imagination with stark reality, it weaves the journeys of fictional characters into a tapestry of verified facts, dates, and harrowing testimonies. This is no mere story; it’s an investigative narrative, the author’s unflinching perspective on events that, in truth, ignited not in 2022 but as early as 2014—a simmering conflict in Donbas that has now escalated into full-scale war. Will it endure forever?

Above all, Letter Z probes the questions haunting us all: How could this happen? Why? And the most agonizing—how much longer must it last?
