Ростислав Забашта. Культ і образ Онуфрія Великого

This book is coming out at a critical moment for the world. A moment when Ukraine is becoming an increasingly active player on the world stage with every passing day, with the tough ordeals and painful losses it is sadly going through.

Perhaps this is why the book speaks without words. It speaks from the sky (where, at the time of publication, Russian missiles are still flying, in a bid to stop everything in their path, including the publication of this book). From the perspective of a bird in flight, you can hear nothing but the sound of the wind. And yet, from up there, you can clearly see landscapes, buildings, roads, animals, and people, in a way we rarely get to see from our usual point of view.

Here, an athlete races down the only wooden bobsleigh track in Ukraine during the summer championship, while a herd of cows unhurriedly grazes in the Carpathian meadows, near a lonely shepherds’ hut. And over there, a full palette of colours is formed by the salt lakes near the Kinburn Spit, a unique protected area, while birds fly over the sandy semi-desert in the south of Ukraine.
