Paperback book "Sovok Fragments" by Les Podervyansky. Ukrainian modern prose

Description: "USSR" ended a long time ago, and we still adhere to internal self-censorship? The older generation and Internet propagandists cry out about ice cream and sausage, but do not mention that they had to go to the capital of the "empire" for it. This silence creates an illusion in the new generation, about "the country we have lickened". Why are we silent about our own lives and true feelings? Maybe it was a traumatic experience? Express yourself at least for therapeutic purposes! That is why we - Olga and Vera Ishchuk "Mad Twins" - artists of the punk and sycobile scene, created this illustrated art book. From a young age we wondered why there are so many contradictions in the history of the USSR? So from reading works of fiction, such as "The Garden of Gethsimane" by Ivan Bagryany, we moved on to the admiration with the memoirs of the victims of the Soviet system, where we found a true picture of the reality of the time. In 2020, we completed the Inctober Challenge - this is an online task to create a drawing with ink every day during October. The themes are arbitrary words from the list of the founder of Inctober. For an hour, or even three, we drew the stories of the life of the country "Veliky Oktyabrya"! Everything we depict is an excerpt from the published and freely available memoirs and memories of the older generation and our own experience. After all, we started our lives in the "scoop". If you were born in a free Ukraine, you will be interested in learning about the misguided construction of rockets, torture in camps and fugitives from the USSR, state anti-Semitism, theft, drunkenness, the greed for "branded clothes", as well as what was wrong with scoop bras, why the scoops did not brush their teeth and consumed blue chickens. If you have lived in a sovka most of your life - we assure you that you will still learn about something new and will certainly be inspired to rethink your own sovka experience.
