This book is like a time capsule containing a selection of interviews that aired on Hromadske Radios Ukraine Calling show. They capture what people were thinking during a critical time in the countrys history, from the July 2016 NATO Summit through to Volodymyr Zelenskyys 2019 landslide election victories. Decision makers, opinion makers, and other interesting people commented on events of the day as well as larger issues. Topics range from politics to sports, religion, history, war, books, diplomacy, health, business, art, holidays, foreign policy, anniversaries, public opinion to freedom of speech. Interview guests include Canadas then Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, writer Andrey Kurkov, Crimean political prisoner Hennadii Afanasiev, who was tortured in 2014, Ukraines acting Health Minister Ulana Suprun, American analyst/journalist Brian Whitmore, UNHRCs Pablo Mateu, ethnologist Ihor Poshyvailo, investment banker Olena Bilan, Tufts Universitys Daniel Drezner, a cameo appearance by Boris Johnson, and many more. Together these interviews provide a unique, diverse, and kaleidoscopic perspective conveying the substance, atmosphere, and flavor of Ukraine while it was on the receiving end of a hybrid war from Russia.
