The Ukrainian and Russian Notebooks: Life and Death Under Soviet Rule #[nn]

This volume collects two graphic nonfiction works by Igort, originally published separately, that document the harrowing history of Soviet repression in Ukraine and Russia through personal testimonies and stark, minimalist art. The first notebook focuses on the Holodomor famine and Stalinist terror in Ukraine, while the second explores the Chechen wars and the lingering trauma of Soviet rule in Russia. Together, they form a powerful, illustrated chronicle of life and death under totalitarianism, based on the author's extensive interviews and research.
