The opposition of the people of Kyiv to the big capitalist developers (for sure, supporters of the \u00abfree market\u00bb will see anarchism roots in the book). The confrontation of good and evil of biblical proportions, which continues over the Face of Kyiv. The confrontation between urban infrastructure unsuitable for an ecological lifestyle and the first representatives of the cycling community.<\/p><p>And also the novel describes the ghosts that wander the Lysa Hora Mountain, and the parallel world of the big city, which is always invisibly nearby; life of politicians and city officials who \u00absell\u00bb natural areas and historical monuments and at the same time wear embroidered traditional shirts.<\/p><p>Essay after essay, episode after episode, we laugh at the absurdity of political life, and admire the majesty of Nature and the sincere motivations of revolutionaries.<\/p><p>This book is a literary manifesto of the eco-initiative, which we founded in the same 2008 and which in 2016 became a non-government organization called the Independent Journalists\u2019 Union \u00ab<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature-first.info\/\">Nature first<\/a>\u00bb<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature-first.info\/\">.<\/a><\/p><p>We thank to the team that worked on the book: literary editor Leonid Kononovych, artists Natalya Zhurakovska and Oleh Smal, designer Serhiy Piontkovsky.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/nature-first.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2011\/12\/Territorya_Duha.pdf\">Download the book in Russian<\/a>.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/nature-first.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2012\/09\/Terytoriya-Duhu-ukr.pdf\">Download the book in Ukrainian<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00abThe Spirit Territory\u00bb by Angelina Yar and Oleg Andros is a novel that embodies the social and political upheaval in Kyiv in the 2000s.
