The next episode of the journalistic diary includes entries from 2024-25, the main character of which unexpectedly turns out to be Donald Trump. The joker of world politics has become the last, albeit very weak, source of hope for ending the Russian-Ukrainian war. The war is still going on, and Oleg Kashin keeps a unique chronicle of it. "This book is my personal defeat, my personal fiasco. I came up with the subtitle for it, "From Navalny's funeral to the end of the War," back in the spring of 2024, when ISIA Media published my diary of the first two war years – "Nothing good. From the beginning of the war to the funeral of Navalny" in a red cover, and, in general, all that remained was to wait for the end of the war and put the book into print. Now that I see that the texts written since then have accumulated into more than one book, it's time to admit that my optimism played a cruel joke on me, that is, I was waiting for the end of the war, but there is no point in saving the texts for a volume that would end with a peaceful happy ending. Not anymore. Or, if you continue to be optimistic, it's time to summarize the interim results in the format of a Writer's Diary, recalling the period between the spring of 2024 and the middle of 2025." Oleg Kashin
