4/5 I went to pick up a red summer dress that I ordered at a discount. I imagine that in about six months it will be summer again, and warmth. I imagine that with red lipstick, the dress will look especially good on me.

3/5 We've already learned how to apply makeup by touch and by candlelight. Such a makeup, coupled with a lack of sleep, has its own charming flair. Dry shampoo is among my discoveries of the year. You can look not so bad, even when the water disappears, and it is very cold in the house.

5/ “Aurora Borealis” by Maksym Hakh combines mythical fantasy, alternative history, cyberpunk, and a spy thriller with exquisite ease. New Ukrainian speculative fiction seeks and experiments, and it is fascinating to witness this process. #ChytomoPicks

4/ Anna Gruver’s novel “Stillness” captures the sensitivity of the modern era, when the world ‘falls apart into pieces'. The author shows how a stance of non-intervention in times of war becomes a position that enables evil and how human value is devalued in modern mass media #ChytomoPicks

3/ Artur Dron. “Hemingway Knows Nothing”: this collection of short prose explores the widespread misunderstanding of war, soldiers, and ethics—a misunderstanding shaped by unrepresentative voices that distort even the “death of God,” leaving it half-spoken and warped. #ChytomoPicks

2/ “A Game of Dress-Up” by Artem Chekh: The Dress-Up Game tells of the colorless existence in the military, of a society where ‘everyone has long stopped feeling each other,’ and, most importantly, of a person who, at the center of the storm, tries to remain human. #ChytomoPicks
