Inna Zolotukhina was born in Sumy to a family of journalists. Worked on the UT-2 channel (1 + 1), in the newspapers "Day", "Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine", "Today". He is currently the editor of the special correspondents department of the magazine "Vesti. Reporter". Since 2008 - the war between Russia and Georgia - a military correspondent. I visited many "hot spots" of the planet - Chechnya, Dagestan, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Iran and others. Armed conflict is always destruction, pain and death. But war in a foreign country and war at home are two different things. When the Motherland is on fire, no one, not even an experienced military corps, can remotely observe the events. And he inevitably becomes a direct participant in the tragedy, passing through everything that happened and is happening before his eyes: the annexation of Crimea, illegal "referendums", hostilities and the occupation of Donbass. The author of this book does not just write about the anti-terrorist operation. Together with the heroes of his reports - volunteers, fighters and doctors - he fights for his country with pen and paper. And does not claim to analyze what happened. The time for reflection will come later. After the war.
