This book is called prophetic for a reason. This bestseller, first published eight years ago, predicted with astonishing accuracy the current war in Ukraine, the atrocities of Kyiv’s perpetrators, and the heroic resistance of Novorossiya—so you can’t call it “fiction.” It’s more than just fantasy. Gleb Bobrov, himself a former “Afghan,” knows the true face of war firsthand. Only a veteran could write such a book—so powerful and credible, with such detailed accounts of combat and sabotage struggles, with such naturalism and complete immersion in the bloody nightmare of the Bandera genocide.
And don’t get carried away. This novel isn’t “about Ukraine.” The coming of the “era of stillborn births” threatens all of us. After Novorossiya, Russia is next. “So don’t ask for whom the bell tolls— it tolls for you.”
