In both English and Russian languages.Translated by Ainsley Morse, Daniela Maksin, Leonard Volchek, Venya Gushchin, Yasha Klots.“In March 2022, after the full-scale invasion of Russian forces into Ukraine, I went on a trip that took me from Israel to Tbilisi to Yerevan to Istanbul and back to Israel. I hoped to take notes on this ‘Exodus-22’ – that is, to create a record of people leaving Russia over the course of these weeks. This experience was incredibly important for me, and I am endlessly grateful to the people who met with me, spoke with me, and helped me work with this material. I should add that all of the Ns in these notes are different people, and the order of the notes for each location is roughly chronological.” (Linor Goralik)PRAISEHistory itself speaks to us from the pages of Goralik’s book. Initially inarticulate, labored and abstruse, history finds its voice through Linor’s efforts… Years from now, when we want to understand what happened to us, we will look to these pages with wonderment and melancholy. The fact that this book exists, offering us testimony and knowledge that are sometimes very difficult to face, makes us feel both gratitude and awe – the awe that is felt when time and catastrophe speak to you directly. – Polina Barskova«V marte 2022 goda, posle nachala polnomasshtabnogo vtorzheniia rossiĭskikh voĭsk v Ukrainu, ia proekhala po marshrutu Izrailʹ–Tbilisi–Erevan–Stambul–Izrailʹ v nadezhde sdelatʹ kakoe-to kolichestvo zapisok ob “Iskhode-22”, — to estʹ o tom, kak liudi v ėti nedeli uezzhali iz Rossii.
