"Russia steals from the conquered peoples not only the present and future, but also all the most valuable things from the past," Les Beley writes in his new book. The writer compares Russian imperialism to an evil sorcerer who safely hid his life on a distant island. Culture, the army, the power of Imperial myth and isolation from world contexts — this is how the Sorcerer remains alive. Les Beley structures the post-imperial transformations of Ukrainian society at all these levels and explains how the Russian Koshchei is defeated in Ukraine.
