Written by the front-line protestors at the Russian Embassy in Dublin, this book takes you on a journey of hope and courage as fifty determined individuals come together to stand against Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. They show their unwavering commitment to a better world through peaceful protests and daily pickets. Dive into their personal stories as they open up their hearts and share their experiences, illuminating the true meaning of human solidarity and the importance of taking action. Be moved and inspired by their bravery, and discover the power of the human spirit to make a difference in the world.
