      A Brief History of Ukrainian Feminism. Graphic novel

      by Mykola Yabchenko

      Feminism is a living phenomenon, but its history can and should be recorded. A number of serious works on the history of the women's movement and feminism have been published in Ukraine, but it is only recently that the history of Ukrainian feminism appeared in the form of a graphic novel. This book is our humble attempt to try and cover the vast history of Ukrainian feminism on a moderate number of pages. We have mentioned many outstanding personalities, but we have not mentioned even more names, for which we immediately apologise - after all, a lot has happened in 150 years and it’s hard to fit all into a relatively small graphic novel. This book may be of interest to those who have only recently become interested in feminism, as it is a brief introduction to the history of Ukrainian feminism. More experienced readers will be delighted to notice some additional details and stories to what they already know.

      Zako: Green Fruit

      by Tigran Mangasaryan

      The unique "diary" presented through illustrations is based on Sargis Mangasaryan's memories and the most breathtaking events of his difficult and unusual path. To highlight the validity of the story the book contains archives, photos, parts from letters, and diary notes. These materials help to recreate the scenes of the vicious and inhuman era that was fated to the artist. Stalinist repressions, war, slavery, barriers for creativity... Adventures that only a strong individual can survive, even though, usually, a person's individuality lost its value and meaning. For his memories the artist chose the title "Zako: Green fruit" without giving any comments. A person that learnt the art of keeping a diary and writing so concretely and honestly, could not find any words to add to the title, "Zako: Green fruit."
