The Stolen Brotherhood

At the heart of war-torn Ukraine, a dramatic story unfolds about two brothers—a symbol of the split of an entire people. Raised on the deeds of heroes of the Great Patriotic War, they find themselves on opposite sides of the barricades. Nikolai is drawn into the schemes of a skilled manipulator who sows seeds of hatred and the superiority of one nation over another. Money and power turn him into a battalion commander of a national battalion, a man who blindly believes in Bandera ideals. His daughter Yulka, intoxicated by propaganda, goes east as a blogger—where the harsh reality of war confronts her with the true face of the conflict. Andrei chooses the path of a defender of his native land. Fate prepares a cruel meeting: Nikolai learns that Andrei has been captured. The blood of kin defeats ideology. Realizing the emptiness of their former beliefs, Nikolai makes a desperate decision—to save his brother. This book is a piercing cry about how easy it is to destroy brotherhood and how difficult it is to restore it. It is a story about the rebirth of Nazism and the power of the human spirit to withstand the darkness.
