There was one night in the troubled spring of the dramatic year 2014 that saved Kharkiv from the tragic fate of Donetsk, Luhansk, and many Donbas towns and villages, which endure now the seventh year of devastation by hands of separatists and Russian mercenaries.

It was the first victory in the dirty undeclared war which was waged against Ukraine by the criminal Putin regime.How did we manage to defend Kharkiv? Why did we not succeed in Donetsk and Luhansk? What factors decided the fate of the city and its population? This book tells about these things. It contains a lot of direct speech, live emotions, and facts.Arsen Avakov tells about the developments of the night 7 to 8 of April 2014 in Kharkiv when he directed the operation to free the Kharkiv Oblast State Administration (KhOSA) building, captured by the separatists.In this book, his co-authors are Kharkiv residents who are telling their personal stories, as that experience was lived and felt by each of them.Such polyphony allows the reader to see in whole the dramatic picture of events of the troubled spring of 2014 in Kharkiv, which were filled with genuine emotions.
