About the book: 2017 / Semyon graduated from the Waldorf school in Smolensk and the journalism department of Smolensk State University. His first place of work was television in Abkhazia. Then he is a military correspondent at the Life news portal. Cairo was a baptism of fire. Then Syria, Donbass... Zakhar Prilepin wrote about him: “Among the special military correspondents there is Semyon Pegov, who has been in the status of personal enemies of the Maidan since the Maidan itself (he sat there under sniper fire for three hours, and then he was accused of this shelling itself was corrected) and appears on the list of “enemies of the nation.” Semyon has been in Novorossiya for several months now (before that there was revolutionary Egypt and so on). He is a poet. His poems are excellent. So all is not lost, friends, all is not lost. Some go to the Peace March, others are under fire».
