The book continues to publish E. Chikalenko's diary of the emigration period.

The author continues to follow closely the events that took place in Ukraine, in particular the growth of anti-Bolshevik sentiments, the development of the insurgent movement, the policy of Soviet leaders towards Ukraine.

Slavynsky, P. Chyzhevsky, E. Lukasevych, V. Pisnyachevsky, E. Vyrov, M. Sadovsky, M. Kos, D. Gregolinsky and others.

The diary also included valuable materials from periodicals in various fields that came to E. Chikalenko's attention and attracted his attention with unusual views, novelty of facts and immediacy of observations. The book is intended for scholars, teachers, students and readers who are interested in the dramatic history of Ukraine in the early 1920s, the fate of the first wave of Ukrainian emigration and its leaders.
