Presentation of a Czech edition of a book by Oleh Kryshtopa, a writer, essayist and journalist who crisscrossed his native country, from West to East and back again, recording the testimonies of hundreds of people and accessing places that a regular tourist never sees. The book Ukraine, Scale 1:1 (published in Czech as Ukrajina v měřítku 1 : 1) is the result of many journeys and interviews. It delivers an authentic testimony as to how people live in Ukraine today and makes clear what led to the Maidan, the subsequent annexation of Crimea and the current war with Russia.

The translator and poet Marie Ilyashenko will chair a debate with the author.
