    "description": "<p><i>-16\u00b0C, sunlight, silence. I drove the children to school, then went to see the revolution. I walked between the tents. Talked with rev\u00adolutionaries. They were weary today. The air was thick with the smell of old campfires. </i><br /><i></i><br /><i>  Ukraine Diaries</i> is acclaimed writer Andrey Kurkov\u2019s first-hand account of the ongoing crisis in his country. From his flat in Kiev, just five hundred yards from Independence Square, Kurkov can smell the burning barricades and hear the sounds of grenades and gunshot.</p><p>  Kurkov\u2019s diaries begin on the first day of the pro-European protests in November, and describe the violent clashes in the Maidan, the impeachment of Yanukovcyh, Russia\u2019s annexation of Crimea and the separatist uprisings in the east of Ukraine. Going beyond the headlines, they give vivid insight into what it\u2019s like to live through \u2013 and try to make sense of \u2013 times of intense political unrest.</p>",
