Zachar Prilepin is an experience journalist. He has paid close attention to the Ukrainian events and couldn’t stay aside from the sad happening. Prilepin provided humanitarian aid in Donetsk and　ultimately moved to Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and was appointed as assistant of Alexander Zakharchenko, the leader of DPR.
　　It is the first Chronicles of the War in Donbass. Who took up arms, where it came from, who are Mr. Zakharchenko or who were“Motorola”, how it started and would it work out. The book consists of three parts: ProDonbass, the Che-Hour, Have a Swim in the Dnieper.
　　The author recalls visits to Ukraine and the attitude to the Russian speaking tourists in the noughties, tells about Zakharchenko, the key figures of DPR and the Donbass struggle.
　　In Prilepin’s opinion, Donbass can be regarded as the frontline of the today’s struggle between the opposing forces. The globalists are serving the interests of corporations and actually antichristian centers. Russophobic, anti-Soviet and pro-Western propaganda succeeded.
　　“Novorossia is the first battle though. Defeat didn’t happen”, the author says.
