"There is a lot of bitterness in their texts and they would like to 'replace the word war with many other words, waiting to be spoken'. But it is in their poems and prose that our voice flows from our past and present — into our future," — says in the foreword of the curator ща еру project Ostap Slyvinsky about the works of novice writers — those who are just entering literature and who so carefully and subtly listen to the voices of authors of previous generations.
