This book can be read as a historical novel. Or as a document of the era.
All conversations with Ukrainian intellectuals have been left unchanged since they were first published in 2003-2004.

"I seriously believe that our world can become different (better) if we say what we think differently.
I seriously believe that the people on whom it depends to make our world a better place sometimes simply do not know how to think and speak differently.
"Other format" is a textbook of unwritten texts that illustrate the possibility of thinking while speaking (think what you're saying! say what you think!).
Listening to their voices, I realized how much of the most important thing never gets into books.
The "different format" principle is surprisingly simple. Choose the ones you like. Choose those you trust and are confident in. Write down what is said, Believe in what is said.
But: no memorials, no monuments, no wills or testaments. Seize the moment-one, but unique. Tomorrow, maybe, should be different.'
Taras Prokhasko
