About This Book The manuscripts by Dmytro Hoichenko (1903-1993), which were found by chance in the year 1994 in the emigration archives of San Francisco (USA), are an unique testimony to the terrible times of Soviet collectivization and famine in Ukraine.
Dmytro Hoichenko wrote all three books in the late 1940s - early 1950s. Born in a peasant family, the author by fate got to the ranks of militant oppressors and made a successful career. The membership in Communist Party and Soviet nomenklatura gave him access to diverse information on the situation in society. Gradually disillusioned by Soviet system, Hoichenko analyzed and noted everything he saw and experienced. In this way a true encyclopedia of tragic memories of the famine era in Ukraine was put together.
The book is printed in its original language. This is the only book that the Ukrainian publisher A-BA-BA-HA-LA-MA-HA has published in Russian. (The text reflects not only the fragility of the author‘s soul, but also the friability of his language.)
On the cover of the book there is a famous poster from the Museum of Communism in Prague.
