About the book: 2016 / Vitaly Yuryevich Zakharchenko - Ukrainian politician, Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine (from November 2011 to January 28, 2014), acting Minister of Internal Affairs Affairs of Ukraine (from January 28, 2014 to February 21, 2014). In January 2015, he received Russian citizenship. Heads the South-East charitable foundation. Vitaly Zakharchenko insists on conducting an independent international investigation into the events on the Maidan. “I talked a lot with Russian and European journalists, politicians, public figures and always felt genuine interest and even anxiety when discussing the cause-and-effect relationships of the February 2014 coup. A striking example of this is our conversations with the writer, politician and public figure Sergei Helemendik, which served as a certain impetus for writing this book and its semantic basis. The issues that we touched upon during our many-hour conversations go far beyond the events of the coup d'etat and the fate of Ukraine itself. We talked primarily about the philosophical, geopolitical and historical meaning of the changes that we witnessed. About faith and traditions, about the historical destinies of Ukraine and Russia, about the destructive technologies of the Maidan used around the world, about what Europe and our world will be like in the near future. This book is about this and much more. I hope that my thoughts will seem to you, dear readers, not only interesting, but also useful.».
