The Dictionary of War is a bilingual edition with unusual illustrations by Anastasya Avramchuk, whom the Borderland invited to be one of our residents in Krasnogruda.
The stories found in the dictionary were heard in the Lviv train station which, during the first months of the war, was flooded by hundreds of thousands of refugees who were exhausted but also were longing for an opportunity to talk to somebody. The same concerned provisional refugee shelters, streets, coffee distributors – people kept on talking everywhere. Sometimes they started talking spontaneously, sometimes it was enough to encourage them a bit. Then, the conversations began to go on like a wave and they were difficult to stop.
