Font size

The Ukrainian writer Artem Czech has been in the service of his country's armed forces since the beginning of the Russian invasion.

He could have stood in traffic jams on Kiev's arterial roads on February 24, 2022, only to reappear on the international stage and speak about defending Ukrainian culture and the history and language of his country.

He would have had the opportunity to let the war that he hates pass him by in the safety of European writers' houses.

There were countless opportunities to escape the terror that he knew would destroy him.

But Artem Czech decided to take responsibility. The desire to be a role model left him no choice.
